An important duel in the bottom section of the Tipico Bundesliga, with both St. Pölten and Rheindorf Altach experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 9th and the visitors in 11th place.
- St. Pölten have the fewest points (6) at home in Tipico Bundesliga
- Rheindorf Altach have the fewest scored goals (17) in Tipico Bundesliga
St. Pölten and Rheindorf Altach should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
St. Pölten form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Tipico Bundesliga this season. St. Pölten, who have the fewest points (6) at home in Tipico Bundesliga, have only managed 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses from their games here at NV ARENA. With seven home Tipico Bundesliga games in a row without a win, the Pölten fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Ried game long ago, can be stopped today.
Pölten are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-4 away versus Salzburg. Before that game, the home loss against Austria Wien with the scoreline 0-2.
This is expected to be a close game, with St. Pölten perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Pölten as a small favourite), we find seven games. St. Pölten has won four of these, drawn one and lost two.
The Pölten fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 10 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. St. Pölten are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (22 from 10 played).
