Blau-Weiß Linz hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 24 points and a 13th position in the Erste Liga table. Visiting Austria Lustenau holds 10th place with 28 pts.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Blau-Weiß and Austria Lustenau.
Blau-Weiß Linz form and stats
Blau-Weiß Linz have collected 12 points from their Erste Liga home games so far after 3-3-5.
A nice win for Blau-Weiß last time playing, versus Juniors OÖ. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with O. Filip and A. Kostic scoring for the victors. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Wacker Innsbruck (0-2).
Manager R. Brunmayr felt very clever after O. Filip scored the winning goal against Juniors OÖ, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 72nd minute.
This is expected to be a close game, with Blau-Weiß perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Blau-Weiß Linz as a small favourite), we find two games. Blau-Weiß Linz has won zero of these, drawn zero and lost two.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Blau-Weiß Linz as they are travelling to their away game against Ried in the Erste Liga. That match is three days after this one.
The Blau-Weiß fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 19 goals in 11 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Blau-Weiß with 24 goals conceded in these matches.
Austria Lustenau form and stats
As the visiting team in Erste Liga matches, Austria Lustenau have produced an overall stat of 4-2-5 so far.
Home advantage was not enough for Lustenau in their previous game, as they lost their Erste Liga-match, hosting Austria Klagenfurt, 0-2. Prior to that match, the Lustenau manager R. Mählich faced defeat when travelling to Floridsdorfer AC and losing 1-2.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Lustenau playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were one Austria Lustenau win, zero draws and two defeats.
A new game in only three days for Lustenau, the Erste Liga home match versus SV Horn II. Busy days.
