With the edgy opening game done it’s time for the second Erste Liga duel of the season. Blau-Weiß Linz are ready to confront Austria Wien II in front of their home support.

This stadium has grass, which is not Austria Wien II's regular surface at their own stadium. When playing on grass Austria Wien II have performed like this: Played 27 matches with the results 7 wins, 8 draws and 12 defeats with the goal difference 31-46 (scored/conceded).

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Blau-Weiß are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus First Vienna.

Austria Wien II form and stats

Let's have a look at how Austria Wien II performed last season in the Erste Liga: They landed a 14th position in the league table after playing out 6 victories, 7 draws and 17 defeats. In total they scored 31 and conceded 56 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 3 and lost 8 with 16/26 goals scored/conceded.

Austria Wien II's last game was the home draw against Liefering (2-2). An inspired comeback made the scores level in Austria's duel with Liefering. It looked bad at 0-2 but the team were not done and fought back to 2-2 after Schmelzer found the equalizer. The draw against Liefering came from a losing position. The Austria Wien II manager Suchard brought on Schmelzer as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.

Preceding that game, the 0-4 loss visiting Austria Lustenau's place.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Austria played away with similar odds. This revealed 5 games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 2 times, 0 were draws and the home team won as expected 3 times.
