Austria Lustenau VS Rheindorf Altach

Austria Lustenau host Rheindorf Altach in Round 7 of the 2026/27 ADMIRAL Bundesliga on September 19. After six rounds, Lustenau sit ninth with five points, while Altach are bottom with three points. Last season, Lustenau won the 2025/26 2. Liga title with 54 points and earned promotion back to the Bundesliga. One season earlier, they had finished 12th in the second tier with 37 points. Altach have considerably more Bundesliga experience, but their recent record has been inconsistent. They finished ninth in 2025/26 after placing 11th in 2024/25. In the opening six league rounds this season, Altach have won only once and lost five times. Current form continues to highlight the contrast. Lustenau beat WAC 2-1 and drew with Ried and Sturm, but lost to GAK, WSG Tirol and Austria Vienna. Altach defeated WSG Tirol 3-1 but then lost four straight matches against Sturm, Hartberg, LASK and GAK. The head-to-head record strongly favors Altach: in the last five meetings, they have won three and drawn two, remaining unbeaten while scoring nine goals and conceding only three. Lustenau, however, have home advantage and a stronger overall start to the new season. The match could therefore become a tight contest. Altach have the psychological advantage from the recent head-to-head record, but five defeats in six league games raise doubts about their ability to dominate again. Lustenau can play cautiously and exploit home advantage.
