Austria Wien form and stats
Austria Wien have collected 20 points from their Admiral Bundesliga home games so far after 6-2-3. It’s been three wins in a row for Austria Wien here at Generali Arena, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.
A nice win for Austria Wien last time playing, versus Rapid Vienna. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with Leidner and Tabaković scoring for the victors. Tabaković has beaten the opponent goalkeeper in four matches in a row. Outstanding! Midfield player Leidner got a match rating of 8.14 in that game, the max score being 10. Leidner scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
Prior to that, an away loss at Sturm Graz.Goal fest? We don't know about this one, but we do know that 16 of the 20 most recent league games with this side has seen three or more goals.
A decent goal production from Austria in their home games so far, with 19 goals from 11 league matches. Austria Wien have conceded 13 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
LASK Linz form and stats
The visitors are W5-D5-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Admiral Bundesliga.
LASK Linz has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Hartberg for a 2-2 draw. As mentioned above, LASK drew the match against Hartberg. Manager Kühbauer brought on Ljubičić to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked. Luckeneder was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.43. The defender Luckeneder won 4 of 5 duels.
A 0-2 loss hosting Salzburg before that.The schedule is very tough for LASK Linz now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Austrian Cup game at Sturm Graz is waiting in only four days.
LASK Linz are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 19 times in 11 away games so far.
