It's advantage Ried so far with their 1st position in the Erste Liga table, welcoming Lafnitz who are placed 6th.
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!
Ried form and stats
Ried, who have the most scored goals (40) in Erste Liga, are steadily winning Erste Liga games and points here at josko ARENA. 6 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 8 games. Ried haven’t lost a league-game in 14 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Grazer AK, 203 days ago. After failing to beat Grazer AK here at josko ARENA, Ried has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with five wins in a row.
It's back home for Ried, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Amstetten away with the result 2-1. A. Bajic and S. Nutz found the net in that victory. Ahead of that match, Ried won a home game hosting Austria Lustenau (1-0).
The victory against Amstetten came after A. Bajic's winning goal. The Ried manager G. Baumgartner was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 56th minute.
