Lafnitz form and stats

Lafnitz have collected 15 points from their Erste Liga home games so far after 4-3-2.

The spoils were shared in Lafnitz's previous game, also at home. Visiting Vorwärts Steyr (placed 14th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. A painful moment in the game against Vorwärts Steyr was the missed penalty kick from Poldrugač in the 71st minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Admira and winning 2-1.

Both teams to score! That has happened in 5 league matches in a row for this side. Could it happen again?

The Lafnitz fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 15 goals in 9 league matches. On the other hand, Lafnitz have conceded 12 goals.
