St. Pölten form and stats

St. Pölten have collected 9 points from their Erste Liga home games so far after 3-0-3. Two home wins in a row for Pölten bring valid hopes of a third.

The St. Pölten fans got no joy from their last match, a Austrian Cup game also here at NV ARENA: A 0-3 defeat against Salzburg.

A Erste Liga defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Kapfenberger SV.

This is expected to be a close game, with St. Pölten perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with St. Pölten as a small favourite), we find ten games. Pölten has won four of these, drawn three and lost three.

The Pölten manager S. Helm has got the team scoring with 14 from 6 home games in the league. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.

Austria Lustenau form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (31) in Erste Liga, on their Erste Liga travels is 4 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat. Having won their last three away games Lustenau has no reason to fear anyone.

Austria Lustenau might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Blau-Wei Linz proved too strong as Austria Lustenau slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Planet Pure Stadion.

A home win before that, celebrating 6-0 vs Kapfenberger SV.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Lustenau in our archives, and the results are: one win for Austria Lustenau, zero draws and two defeats.

Lustenau have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 11 goals from 5 away matches. Lustenau have conceded 6 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the preceeding ten meetings featuring these two contenders are: five wins for Pölten, two draws and three wins for Austria Lustenau. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.
