Wolfsberger AC form and stats

With 1 Tipico Bundesliga win, 3 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Wolfsberger AC are certainly not brimming with confidence. Two draws in a row at home now for Wolfsberger.

Stress levels are on the rise for Wolfsberger's attacking players as they have now played 191 minutes without scoring in a league game. E. Peretz was their last goal scorer. The Wolfsberger AC goalkeeper Alexander Kofler is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 201 minutes without conceding a goal in the Tipico Bundesliga.

The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Hartberg in the Tipico Bundesliga last time out and are looking for a win here. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Sturm Graz that ended 0-0.

The manager F. Feldhofer will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to St. Polten in only four days.

The Wolfsberger AC fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 7 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Wolfsberger AC with 14 goals conceded in these matches.

LASK Linz form and stats

There's been little loot from LASK Linz's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 6 away games in the Tipico Bundesliga. LASK Linz only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 3 draws.

The manager D. Thalhammer was unhappy after their last game, a Tipico Bundesliga match played at their home ground TGW Arena. LASK suffered a 2-4 loss to Wattens (placed 5th). Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Austria Wien.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Wattens was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? It's a bit worrying for LASK that their goalkeeper Alexander Schlager made six saves in the Wattens game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.

After this away game LASK return home for a Tipico Bundesliga game against Rapid Wien. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far LASK have scored 6 goals in 6 league games away. LASK's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips.
