SV Tillmitsch enters this cup fixture riding a massive wave of momentum, having secured eight consecutive victories across all competitions. Conversely, USV St. Anna are enduring a miserable stretch of form, managing only a single win in their last eight outings.

Despite playing in the fourth tier, the hosts have already proven they can handle the step up in quality. They comfortably eliminated third-tier Deutschlandsberger SC 2-0 in the previous cup round, showing no fear against higher-division opponents.

The home side's attacking output has been relentless over the past two months. Tillmitsch has scored 25 goals during their eight-game winning streak, consistently overwhelming defenses and forcing high-scoring matches.

St. Anna’s recent road trips highlight significant defensive vulnerabilities. They were dismantled 4-1 by SC Weiz in their last away match, exposing a fragile backline that struggles when put under sustained pressure.

While the visitors operate a league above, their current crisis of confidence neutralizes that divisional advantage. Backing the in-form hosts to avoid defeat in normal time provides the most logical and secure betting angle for this matchup.
