Salzburg form and stats

5-0-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Admiral Bundesliga numbers at home for Salzburg so far this season. Salzburg has a nice streak going on as they have played eleven consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Sturm Graz defeat 92 days ago.

Salzburg's last game was hosting VfL Wolfsburg and winning 3-1. The striker Noah Okafor was named "man of the match" for Salzburg with the rating of 8.04/10. Okafor scored two goals, hit the woodwork once and hit two key passes.

Before that, Salzburg played out a Admiral Bundesliga draw 1-1 when visiting Rheindorf Altach.

Salzburg are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found five matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won four, drew one and lost zero.

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

Salzburg always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Red Bull Arena with 16 goals in 5 league games. From these home matches, Salzburg have conceded only 3 goals.

Sturm Graz form and stats

As the visiting team in Admiral Bundesliga matches, Sturm Graz have produced an overall stat of 3-1-1 so far.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Europa League home defeat versus Real Sociedad with 0-1 on the scoreboard. David Affengruber, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.42. Affengruber won 9 of 17 duels.

A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Ried.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Sturm played away with similar odds. This revealed one game. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected one time.

A quick return to home after this game, as Sturm are hosting Ried in the Austrian Cup only three days away.

Sturm create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 13 goals in 5 travels. Sturm have conceded 6 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head
