Amstetten form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Erste Liga travels is 4 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats.

Amstetten might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Grazer AK proved too strong as Amstetten slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Ertl Glas-Stadion. Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Wacker Innsbruck's place.

Amstetten lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

A quick return to home after this game, as Amstetten are hosting Austria Klagenfurt in the Erste Liga only four days away.

Amstetten have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 12 goals have been scored. Amstetten have conceded 14 goals in these away matches.
