Hohenems vs Dornbirn - Regionalliga - West

Season-defining implications hang over this Regionalliga - West clash at the home ground, where Hohenems host Dornbirn on May 2, 2026 knowing the result could shape the run-in for both clubs. The left-back was taken off in the final minutes against Everton with cramp, and was not risked for the Champions League clash vs Sabah on Thursday.

Hohenems have found a groove, WWWLW across their last five and operating at a win rate of 85.71% this season.

Hohenems will look to stretch the pitch and isolate their wide attackers, while Dornbirn must find a way to compress the space and choke the supply lines.
