There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Ried leading Blau-Weiß Linz by 24 points.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ried and Blau-Weiß Linz.
Ried form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at josko ARENA as Ried, who have the most scored goals (53) in Erste Liga, have scored 27 goals to get 24 points from 11 games. The overall stats in the Erste Liga are 8-0-3 (wins-draws-losses).
Ried faced defeat in their previous match, away at Juniors OO (2-3). Preceding that match was a defeat to Austria Wien II (1-3).
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (27 in 11 games), Ried's attacking play is working. On the other hand, Ried have conceded 12 goals.
Blau-Weiß Linz form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Blau-Weiß Linz so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 3-3-6 (win-draw-lose). Blau-Weiß has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
F. Schubert (2) scored in Blau-Weiß Linz's previous match, the home game against Austria Lustenau that ended 2-1. Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Juniors OO.
F. Schubert came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Austria Lustenau last time out, making the manager R. Brunmayr feel like a tactical genius.
The travelling fans enjoy Blau-Weiß's attacking play in away games, having scored 18 goals in 12 league matches away. The Blau-Weiß Linz manager R. Brunmayr has some worries about the defense as 24 goals have been conceded in these travels.
