SOCCER PREVIEW: SVG REICHENAU vs. TSV ST. JOHANN

VIENNA (Interstat) — SVG Reichenau hosts TSV St. Johann on Saturday, May 9, 2026, in an Austrian Regionalliga clash with playoff implications for both sides.

Reichenau, coming off a 1-1 draw at Kufstein on May 2, sits in the upper half of the table and aims to build momentum. The home side’s recent form has been mixed: a 1-0 win at Hohenems on April 25 followed a 3-0 loss at Kuchl on April 19. Earlier this season, Reichenau split results against mid-table opposition, including a 2-2 draw at Lauterach and a 1-0 win over Bischofshofen.

TSV St. Johann enters after a 2-0 loss at SV Seekirchen on April 30, extending a stretch of inconsistent results. The visitors have lost five of their last eight matches, including a 6-3 defeat at Schwaz and a 4-0 rout at Bischofshofen. However, they showed resilience with a 1-0 win at Rheindorf Alt II on April 25 and a 2-0 victory over Kufstein on April 10.

The teams last met Oct. 4, 2025, when Reichenau won 2-0 at St. Johann. That result snapped a pattern of close contests; prior meetings have often been decided by a single goal. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 Reichenau victory.

Reichenau’s next scheduled match is at Rheindorf Alt II on May 17, followed by a home game against SV Seekirchen on May 22. St. Johann hosts Dornbirn on May 16 before traveling to Pinz Saalfelden on May 23.

Kickoff is Saturday at 3 p.m. local time at Reichenau’s home ground.
