This match features two teams dwelling in the lower section of the Erste Liga, St. Pölten holding 13th position and Dornbirn lying 14th. A nice opportunity for one of the squads to improve their situation.

  • All of St. Pölten's matches have had more than 1,5 goals.
  • Dornbirn have the most conceded goals (18) in Erste Liga

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

St. Pölten form and stats

St. Pölten have played three Erste Liga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

The St. Pölten supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Austria Wien II in Erste Liga and win 2-0.

Before that, Pölten had a home game versus Austria Wien II which ended with a victory 2-0.

The Pölten fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Pölten defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Dornbirn form and stats

It's not happening yet for Dornbirn on their Erste Liga travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on E. Orie, the Dornbirn manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

The supporters enjoyed Dornbirn's previous game versus Kapfenberger SV (placed 15th), a Erste Liga 4-1 win played at home.

That result followed a home victory 4-1 versus Kapfenberger SV.

Dornbirn have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. The Dornbirn defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 10 goals in their away games.
