Wolfsberger AC
The "Wolves" are a true benchmark at home and are currently in 6th place. With an even record of one win and one loss, they have started the season solidly. Their style of play is characterized by aggressive wing attacks, quick advances, and purposeful ball possession. The defense occasionally shows weaknesses between the lines, but the midfield compensates by quickly closing the spaces. Tactically, they usually operate with a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation, allowing use of the entire field width. The support of the home fans gives them extra momentum to create and convert offensive chances.

BV Linz
The visitors are currently in second to last place and have not won either of their two opening games, failing even to score a goal. Their style of play appears harmless and lacking ideas in attack; mostly they just control the ball in their own half and play very defensively with formations like 5-3-2 or 4-4-2. Creativity and penetrative power are completely missing, so they hardly create chances. Additionally, they fail to stop the opponents' fast counterattacks, putting pressure on their defense.

Injuries
Both teams can field their strongest lineups as there are no injured or suspended players.

Head-to-Head
The last five encounters between Wolfsberger AC and BV Linz show a slight dominance of the "Wolves" with three wins, including a clear 2-0 home victory. Still, BV Linz has also secured two wins against Wolfsberg, demonstrating they should not be underestimated. The matches have mostly been high-scoring and exciting.

Match Prediction
Wolfsberger AC currently impresses with more joy of play, offensive power, and confidence, especially in front of their home crowd. BV Linz struggles with offensive weaknesses and lack of penetration to assert themselves against the committed hosts. The statistics and form clearly favor Wolfsberg, who are expected to dominate their home game and emerge victorious. Therefore, we recommend betting on a Wolfsberger AC win with odds of 1.80.

My tip: Wolfsberger AC to win (1.80)

Athletic Bilbao
Athletic Bilbao has shown enormous energy and aggressive vertical football in recent matches, focusing on quick ball advancement. Especially at home in San Mamés, they demonstrate great fighting spirit and press the opponent early and intensely. The left wing is heavily utilized, but finishing chances remains a weakness. Nevertheless, Athletic often dominates the game pace and constantly puts pressure on the opponent, even if the defense sometimes leaves gaps.

Sevilla
Sevilla currently displays poor form, marked by a lack of offense and many injuries. The team often seems lethargic and usually controls possession without breakthrough power. The squad struggles in transitions and suffers from an insecure defense, which is particularly vulnerable on the wings. Away from home, the players also lack the necessary stability and creativity, reducing their chances for good results.

Injuries
Athletic Bilbao are missing, among others, Sancet (injury to the medial collateral ligament), weakening creative buildup. Prados and Egiluz are also injured, although Egiluz is not a regular starter. Sevilla, on the other hand, is battling a massive injury crisis: Martínez, Badé, Nianzou, Pedrosa, Vargas, and the important Jordan with herniated disc issues are out. This multitude of absences significantly affects squad depth and playing capability.

Head-to-Head
The recent encounters clearly favor Athletic Bilbao, who have won four out of five games against Sevilla. This not only shows statistical superiority but also that Bilbao's style of play causes considerable problems for the opponents. The victories were mostly based on high commitment and aggressive play, while Sevilla currently lacks the necessary quality and stability to compete.

Match Prediction
Thanks to the strong home advantage, the high intensity, and tireless effort, Athletic Bilbao enters this game as the favorite. Sevilla appears marked by the injury crisis and currently has neither the strength nor stability to withstand the pressure. Although Bilbao’s finishing is not optimal, the team should secure at least a narrow win thanks to its dominance and the opponent’s weaknesses. The forecast is therefore clear: Win Athletic Bilbao.

My tip: Win Athletic Bilbao (1.60)

Cadiz
Cadiz shows a completely different strength at home. In their recent home games, it was noticeable how the team benefits from the support of their own fans. Defensively, they rely on compactness and quick transitions. Often they act as a "second team" to provoke mistakes from the opponent. However, offensively against deep-lying opponents, they sometimes lack penetrating power and precision in crosses and finishes. Tactically, Cadiz prefers the 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 system, with a focus on central control and wing play. Their defense is well organized, especially in midfield, but they are vulnerable to fast counterattacks when the fullbacks push high up the field.

Mirandés
Mirandés is still in a phase of adjustment and traditionally struggles away from home. Their offense tends to be somewhat predictable and too centrally oriented against well-structured defensive lines. The team switches from a 4-3-3 to a more defensive 4-5-1 when playing away. There, possession phases dominate without major chance creation. Defensively, their vulnerability to fast wing attacks and long-range shots is problematic. On the positive side, they currently have no injuries or suspensions affecting the squad.

Injuries
Cadiz is currently missing some players that could influence squad depth: David Gil is expected back on 28.08.2025, while Javi Ontiveros is out with a muscle injury and Luis Hernandez with a knee injury. Mirandés, on the other hand, has no injury-related absences, giving them full flexibility in squad selection.

Head-to-Head encounters
The recent direct encounters show a clear home strength of Cadiz: In the last match on January 27, 2025, Cadiz won at home 3-1 against Mirandés. The previous meeting on November 9, 2024 ended 2-2 and was very open and high-scoring. These results indicate exciting matches, with Cadiz's home advantage standing out especially.

Match prediction
Given Cadiz's strong home performances and Mirandés's away weakness, a mixed offensive display and rather rational build-up play can be expected. Cadiz will dominate the game but will create only a few cleverly worked chances against a compact defense. Mirandés will focus on defense and concede few scoring opportunities. Therefore, a tip on a win for Cadiz is recommended, especially since the odds of 1.60 are attractive and take into account home strength as well as current form.

My tip: Win Cadiz (1.60)

Sporting Lisbon
Sporting Lisbon presents itself as a powerful Portuguese machine this season. With a confident 2-0 win in the first match, they prove efficiency and defensive stability without much effort. Their 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 system shows wide wing play and a secure midfield connection. At home, Sporting acts like an impregnable fortress, leaving opponents no chances and launching precise, deadly attacks themselves.

Arouca
Arouca demonstrated open, offensive football with a 3-1 victory in the first match. The tactics 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 reflect fast counter-attacks and bold forward movement. Despite defensive weaknesses, the team shows fighting spirit and is by no means an easy target. Especially motivated away from home, Arouca will seek attack again and cause trouble for Sporting’s defense.

Injuries
Currently, there is no information on injured or suspended players. Both teams will likely field their strongest lineups, which further increases the tension.

Head-to-Head
Previous encounters between Sporting and Arouca show clear dominance by Sporting with two 3-0 away wins last season. Nevertheless, a recent 2-2 result indicates growing resilience from Arouca, promising an intense match for the hosts. This development signals emotionally charged matches with personal ambition on both sides.

Match Prediction
Both teams start the season with strong offensive performances and possess expressive attacking qualities. Sporting will use their home advantage, but Arouca is not expected to wait passively, rather to counterattack. The analysis suggests many goals will be scored, as both are strong offensively but defensively vulnerable. Bookmakers favor over 2.5 goals with a promising odds of 1.50, well supported by playing styles and past results.

My tip: Over 2.5 goals (1.50)
