Austria Wien form and stats

Austria was eliminated in the 2nd round last season in the Austrian Cup.

Austria travelled for their previous game, a trip to Hartberg that ended 0-0. Preceding that match was the home Tipico Bundesliga game against Hartberg that was lost 2-3.

Austria Wien are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Generali Arena with a victory. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. six earlier games are comparable to this one, and Austria has won four times, drawn one and lost one. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Austria Wien has won by at least two goals three times when in this position.

Retz form and stats

Last season their Austrian Cup adventure ended in the 1st round.

There's been little loot from Retz's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 15 away games in the Regionalliga: Ost. Retz only have 1 win to counter their 12 defeats and 2 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row. Retz are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Wiener Viktoria fixture.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Kitzbuhel was particularly ugly (1-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

The visitors come into this game as huge outsiders. This role is not totally unknown to them, as they have played 33 away matches before with similar winning odds. These games have ended with six wins, five draws and 22 defeats. 14 games were lost by at least two goals margin.

Retz have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 15 league away games 18 goals have been scored. For Retz, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
