There's been little loot from Vorwärts Steyr's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 8 away games in the Erste Liga. Vorwärts Steyr only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws.

The manager Madlener was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Stade Municipal (Domerat). Vorwärts Steyr suffered a 0-4 loss to Blau-Wei Linz (placed 2nd). Vorwärts lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
