Early in the 2026-27 Austrian Bundesliga regular season, after six rounds, SCR Altach sits at the foot of the table on three points with just one win, while Austria Lustenau, SV Ried, Wolfsberger AC, and Grazer AK occupy the lower positions on five to seven points. LASK leads the standings ahead of Rapid Wien and Red Bull Salzburg, setting up a clear split into championship and qualification groups after 22 matches, with full points carried forward. The bottom six will contest the relegation round, where the last-placed side drops directly to the 2. Liga. Recent results highlight defensive vulnerabilities and inconsistent form among the lower sides, alongside the return of promoted Austria Lustenau, shaping early trader focus on which clubs can secure enough results to climb clear before the split.
