Wack Innsbruck W vs Kraig
VIENNA (Interstat) — Wack Innsbruck W hosts Kraig on Sunday in a 2. Frauenliga matchup that could have playoff implications as the Austrian women’s second division season enters its final weeks. Kickoff is set for April 26 at Innsbruck’s home ground.
The teams met once already this season, with Wack Innsbruck earning a 3-1 victory on Oct. 5, 2025. That result extended Innsbruck’s recent dominance in the series, but Kraig arrives having posted a 1-0 win over Gmünd on April 18, snapping a three-match losing streak.
Wack Innsbruck (10-5-5) enters Sunday’s contest after a 2-0 home victory against SPG Geretsberg W on April 12. The win was Innsbruck’s second straight clean sheet at home, following a 2-0 decision over Wiener SC on April 4. However, Innsbruck has been inconsistent on its own pitch, losing two of its last five home fixtures, including a 2-0 defeat to USC Landhaus W on March 22 and a 4-0 rout by Krottendorf W on March 14.
Kraig (8-7-5) has struggled for consistency this season, with a 5-2 win over SPG Geretsberg W on April 4 marking only its second victory in seven matches. Prior to that, Kraig lost four straight: 4-0 at Krottendorf W, 3-2 at home against Saalfelden W, 3-0 at Rapid, and 3-0 at Austria Klagenfurt. The visiting side has been particularly vulnerable on the road, allowing multiple goals in five of its last six away fixtures.
An Interstat game simulator projects a 2-2 draw, reflecting the statistical parity between the two sides. Wack Innsbruck has scored 32 goals in 20 matches this season, while Kraig has netted 29. Defensively, Innsbruck has conceded 24 goals; Kraig has allowed 27.
In the head-to-head series, Wack Innsbruck has won three of the last four meetings. The lone Kraig victory during that stretch came in a 4-1 result in 2024. Sunday’s match will also be a test of endurance: both teams are playing their third game in 10 days.
For Kraig, forward Lisa Gruber leads the attack with eight goals this season. Wack Innsbruck relies on midfielder Anna Mayer, who has six goals and four assists. A key battle will be in midfield, where Innsbruck’s pressing style meets Kraig’s counterattacking approach.
With the 2. Frauenliga season winding down, every point matters. A draw, as the simulator suggests, would leave both teams jockeying for position in the middle of the table.
