Lineups: Bleiburg vs KAC
Neither club had confirmed their starting elevens at the time of writing, but indications from recent training sessions suggest Bleiburg will stick to a 4-2-3-1, entrusting an experienced goalkeeper and double-pivot shield in front of the back line. The focus will be on blocking central channels and springing quick breaks down the flanks.
KAC are expected to mirror their customary 4-3-3, with a ball-playing center-back partnership and overlapping full-backs adding width.
