Nothing to worry about in defence for First Vienna, as their goalkeeper Andreas Lukse has completely shut out the opponents for 182 minutes in the Erste Liga.

First Vienna enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Amstetten's place. The match ended 4-0 with Edelhofer, Noy, Steiner and Abazovic scoring. At last, a league win after four games without. As mentioned above, Vienna "killed" Amstetten in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus SV Horn II that ended 0-0.

Sturm Graz II form and stats

6-1-6 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Sturm Graz II in their Erste Liga matches away.

Home advantage was not enough for Sturm Graz II in their previous game as they lost hosting Admira, 2-5. As you can tell from the result, the match against Admira was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Austria Wien II.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sturm playing away and similar expectations, we found 5 relevant matches. Results were 1 Sturm Graz II win, 1 draw and 3 defeats.

Take note that 9 of this club's 12 most recent league rounds have ended with at least three goals.

Sturm Graz II are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 23 times in 13 away games so far. The Sturm manager Hösele has some worries about the defense as 27 goals have been conceded in these travels.
