Juniors OÖ form and stats

Three Erste Liga home games done for Juniors OÖ, who are not happy collecting 2 points from these matches.

Juniors manager G. Scheiblehner and his team return home after a 3-3 draw away versus Amstetten (placed 14th) in the Erste Liga. Preceding that match was a defeat to Kapfenberger SV (0-5).

Opportunity lost for Juniors in the Amstetten match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? F. Benko was able to secure the draw 3-3 in the game against Amstetten after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Juniors have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won one, drawn zero and lost three.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Juniors OÖ here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). Juniors OÖ are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (7 from 3 played).
