LUV Graz W vs. R-W Rankweil W Preview

GRAZ, Austria (Interstat) — LUV Graz W will look to build on recent momentum when they host R-W Rankweil W on Sunday, May 17, in a 2. Frauenliga match at home. Kickoff is scheduled for a time to be determined.

LUV Graz enter the fixture on a modest two-game unbeaten run. They drew 1-1 at Kraig on May 10, following a 4-3 home victory over SPG Geretsberg W on May 2. Those results have provided a spark after a difficult stretch in late March and early April, which included a 7-0 loss to Rapid and a 3-0 defeat at Krottendorf. LUV Graz have shown offensive firepower at times — scoring three or more goals in four of their last six matches — but inconsistency has plagued their season.

R-W Rankweil arrive on a high after a 1-0 victory at Wack Innsbruck on May 9. That win snapped a three-match losing streak that included a 2-0 defeat at SPG Geretsberg and a humbling 8-0 loss at Krottendorf on April 5. Offensively, Rankweil have struggled, scoring just one goal in their last four matches and tallying three goals total over their previous seven contests. Their defense has also been leaky, conceding at least three goals in five of those seven games.

The head-to-head history favors LUV Graz. In their most recent meeting Nov. 2, 2025, LUV Graz won 5-2 on the road. Prior to that, the teams played to a 1-1 draw on Sept. 21, 2025. LUV Graz have won two of the last three matchups between the sides.

Both teams sit in the lower half of the 2. Frauenliga table, but Sunday’s match carries significance for positioning. A win for LUV Graz would provide valuable breathing room, while Rankweil will aim to build on their win at Innsbruck and avoid slipping further.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 victory for LUV Graz, reflecting their recent form and home advantage.
