The brand new season is about to begin and the regulars are tingling with excitement. It’s square one as Lafnitz host Kapfenberger SV for the opening game at Sportplatz Lafnitz. Keep reading!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Lafnitz form and stats
The season before, Lafnitz's league statistics were 12 wins, 5 draws and 13 losses, resulting in 8th place in the Erste Liga. From these 30 matches they scored {48 goals} and conceded 46. Performing at home in the former season Lafnitz delivered 6-5-4 (win-draw-lost) with {27 goals} and 22 conceded.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Lafnitz's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 5 games, won 4 matches, drawn 1 and lost 0.
Lafnitz have prepared for this season with two friendly games versus mixed opposition. Results from training matches should always be treated with caution, but the takeaways from these two matches are 0 victories, 1 draws and 1 losses. In these games, Lafnitz have scored {2 goals} and conceded 4 times.
Kapfenberger SV form and stats
Let's have a look at how Kapfenberger SV performed last season in the Erste Liga: They landed a 13th position in the league table after playing out 9 victories, 7 draws and 14 defeats. In total they scored 40 and conceded {56 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 5 and lost 7 with 15/23 goals scored/conceded.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Kapfenberger playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 2 away wins, 0 draws and 3 home wins.
It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Kapfenberger SV have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeats from four fixtures.
Head 2 Head
Head to head totals (for the last ten meetings): Lafnitz won six games, zero matches ended with a draw and Kapfenberger SV have four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: seven / three.
