Lafnitz form and stats

When playing at home in the Erste Liga, Lafnitz have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 5 games. The happy trend is alive also outside their own arena as Lafnitz has won their last four matches. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Lafnitz, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

Happy days for Lafnitz in their previous game, a Erste Liga match away at Austria Wien II (placed 15th) that ended with a 3-2 victory. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Vorwarts Steyr in a game that was won 3-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Lafnitz perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lafnitz as a small favourite), we find nine games. Lafnitz has won one of these, drawn five and lost three.

A decent goal production from Lafnitz in their home games so far, with 9 goals from 5 league matches. From these home matches, Lafnitz have conceded only 4 goals.

Blau-Weiß Linz form and stats

As the visiting team in Erste Liga matches, Blau-Weiß Linz, who have the most scored goals (26) in Erste Liga, have produced an overall stat of 2-1-3 so far.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Blau-Weiß, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-4 versus Floridsdorfer AC (placed 6th). A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs SV Horn II.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Blau-Weiß playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were three Blau-Weiß Linz wins, one draw and six defeats.

Blau-Weiß have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 12 goals from 6 away matches. The Blau-Weiß manager R. Brunmayr has some worries about the defense as 13 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Lafnitz, one draw and four wins for Blau-Weiß Linz. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
