Wacker Innsbruck form and stats

Things could have gone better for Wacker Innsbruck in their Erste Liga away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

Wacker Innsbruck might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Blau-Weiß Linz proved too strong as Wacker Innsbruck slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Tivoli Stadion Tirol. Before that, Innsbruck secured a home win against Stripfing with the score 1-0.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Blau-Weiß Linz was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

A quick return to home after this game, as Wacker Innsbruck are hosting SV Horn II in the Erste Liga only four days away.

Wacker Innsbruck are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. Innsbruck have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
