Austria Wien II form and stats

Austria Wien II's struggle is real here at Generali Arena with only 8 points collected from 11 Erste Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-2-7.

A nice win for Austria last time playing, versus Floridsdorfer AC. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with J. Pross scoring for the victors. Before that match, a win away at Austria Lustenau.

A late climax in the match against Floridsdorfer AC as the winning goal came one minutes into overtime; scored by J. Pross.
