Austria Wien II form and stats

With 2 Erste Liga wins, 3 draws and 9 defeats from their home games, Austria Wien II are certainly not brimming with confidence. Austria has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Suchard and the players.

In their previous game, the manager Suchard led his Austria Wien II to a defeat away at Kapfenberger SV. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Generali Arena. As you see from the result above, Austria suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Preceding that match was the home game against Amstetten that was lost 0-5.

This is expected to be a close game, with Austria Wien II perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Austria Wien II as a small favourite), we find 5 games. Austria Wien II has won 4 of these, drawn 0 and lost 1.

Austria Wien II have scored 12 league goals here from 14 matches, not a lot. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Austria Wien II defense is not exactly impregnable. 27 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
