Lafnitz lost their last game at Kapfenberger SV (placed 13th) after a 0-1 scoreline.

St. Pölten form and stats
The Erste Liga season is young and St. Pölten have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Pölten have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Wattens game.
Pölten failed to get anything from their last game, a Erste Liga home match vs Dornbirn (placed 12th) that ended with defeat 0-3.
Prior to that match, the Pölten manager S. Helm faced defeat when travelling to Floridsdorfer AC and losing 0-2.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by St. Pölten in our archives, and the results are: two wins for St. Pölten, two draws and five defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Pölten now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Austrian Cup game at Schwaz is waiting in only four days.
