LOCHAU, Austria (Interstat) — Lochau will host Rothis on Friday in a Regionalliga football match between two clubs looking to improve their standing. Rothis enters with a 5-4-3 record across all competitions, while Lochau is 3-6-2. Rothis’s most recent result was a 2-1 home win over SK St. Johann. Lochau’s most recent result was a 2-1 win at Fugen.

Rothis has shown attacking promise but has also been prone to high-scoring swings. Its season has included a 3-0 win at Wolfurt, a 4-3 home loss to Tirol, a 4-3 home loss to Tirol II, a 2-0 win at Reichenau, a 2-2 home draw with Dornbirn, a 3-3 draw at Altach II, a 0-0 home draw with Kufstein, a 2-1 win at Hohenems, a 4-0 loss at Kitzbuhel and a 2-1 loss at Schwaz.

Lochau has endured a tougher campaign. Its results include a 1-1 home draw with FC Lustenau, a 3-0 loss at SC Imst, a 3-1 loss at SK St. Johann, a 3-2 home win over Wolfurt, a 3-2 loss at Tirol II, a 2-1 home loss to Reichenau, a 7-0 loss at Dornbirn, a 2-1 home win over Altach II, a 1-1 draw at Kufstein and a 3-2 home loss to Hohenems.

The home side will hope its recent victory at Fugen provides momentum. Lochau has scored in several matches but has struggled to keep opponents off the scoreboard, particularly in road losses to Dornbirn and SC Imst. Rothis, meanwhile, has found ways to score in bunches, though its defense has conceded four goals in multiple games.

Rothis’s upcoming Regionalliga schedule includes matches against Lustenau 07, Fugen, SC Imst, Lauterach, Schwaz, Kitzbuhel, Hohenems, Kufstein, Altach II and Dornbirn. Lochau’s upcoming slate features Lauterach, Schwaz, Kitzbuhel, Hohenems, Kufstein, Altach II, Dornbirn, Reichenau, Tirol II and Wolfurt.

Both teams will be eager to build on their most recent victories before moving deeper into the Regionalliga calendar. Lochau will rely on home advantage, while Rothis will aim to use its stronger overall record to dictate play. The matchup could hinge on which side manages the middle of the field and limits costly turnovers in the final third. Both sides have shown the ability to create chances, and each has had stretches of inconsistent defensive play. A fast start could prove important, especially for Lochau at home. Rothis holds the better overall record, but recent form suggests a competitive contest.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a final score of Lochau 2, Rothis 2. Interstat’s ELO system gives Rothis a 55.6 percent probability to win.
