VIENNA (Interstat) — Sportunion Mauer hosts Leobendorf on Friday, May 15, 2026, in a Regionalliga clash that carries playoff implications for both sides as the Austrian third-tier season enters its final stretch.

The match at Sportunion Mauer’s home ground kicks off at a time to be announced. An Interstat game simulator projects a 1-1 draw.

Leobendorf enters the fixture with momentum after a 1-0 victory at SC Retz on May 9, the team’s second win in its last three outings. Prior to that, Leobendorf fell 1-0 at SV Gloggnitz on April 30. The visitors have struggled for consistency, posting a 3-10-3 record over their last 16 league matches dating to late February. Their results have been volatile: a 3-2 win at SC Neusiedl am See on April 17 was followed by a 4-0 loss at SV Klocher Bau Oberwart on April 10 and a 5-0 defeat at FC Marchfeld Donauauen on April 3. Leobendorf did produce a 5-0 home win over TWL Elektra on March 28 but then dropped a 2-0 decision at SV Horn on March 20. The team’s road form has been mixed, with three wins, four losses and two draws away from home this season.

Sportunion Mauer, meanwhile, comes off a 3-2 loss at SC Neusiedl am See on May 8. That defeat ended a two-match winning streak in which Mauer beat SV Klocher Bau Oberwart 5-3 at home on May 1 and won 4-2 at SV Donau on April 24. Earlier in April, Mauer fell 3-0 at home to FC Marchfeld Donauauen on April 17 but rebounded with a 2-0 victory at TWL Elektra on April 14. The home side’s form has been erratic: a 3-0 loss at SR Donaufeld on April 3, a 0-0 draw with SC/ESV Parndorf 1919 on March 28, and a 2-0 home defeat to Kremser SC on March 20. Mauer’s recent home record shows three wins, four losses and one draw.

The most recent head-to-head meeting between the sides ended in a 0-0 draw on Nov. 1, 2025. That result extended a pattern of tight contests. In the reverse fixture earlier this season, Leobendorf won 1-0 at home on Aug. 23, 2025. Overall, the teams have split their last five meetings, with two wins each and one draw.

For Sportunion Mauer, forward Maximilian Koller has been a key contributor with seven league goals. Leobendorf midfielder Lukas Rath has scored five times and registered three assists this campaign. Both teams will be without suspended players: Mauer defender Florian Gruber serves a one-match ban after accumulating five yellow cards, while Leobendorf winger Stefan Knoflach is sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Friday’s match could prove pivotal for Mauer’s hopes of avoiding relegation. The home side sits 14th in the 16-team table, three points above the drop zone. Leobendorf, in 10th place, is six points clear of the relegation places but still within reach of a midtable finish. A draw would likely leave both teams in similar positions, while a win for either side could shift the balance in the closing weeks of the season.
