The home supporters can't complain about results here at Lavanttal Arena as Wolfsberger AC have scored 20 goals to get 22 points from 11 games. The overall stats in the Admiral Bundesliga are 7-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). Three consecutive losses here at Lavanttal Arena is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

Austria Wien form and stats

The visitors are W4-D4-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Admiral Bundesliga. It's a growing despair in Austria as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

Austria Wien are travelling again after losing away to Salzburg in their previous match (0-5). Austria lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one. It is a bit worrying for Austria Wien that their keeper Pentz pulled off ten saves in the Salzburg game, but still could not prevent a loss.

A loss against Salzburg was the result prior to that, in a home game.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Austria Wien playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were one Austria Wien win, two draws and one defeat.

Austria find the net regularly in their away games. 15 goals from 11 away fixtures in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Austria Wien have seen the ball go into their own net 12 times on the road. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
