St. Pölten form and stats

St. Pölten have collected 6 points from their Erste Liga home games so far after 2-0-3.

Pölten enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Juniors OÖ's place. The match ended 3-1 with D. Alar, T. Salamon and B. Gschweidl scoring.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Amstetten in a game that was won 4-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Pölten have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won two times, drawn three and lost one.

The Pölten fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 8 goals in 5 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 8 goals have been conceded.

Grazer AK form and stats

The visitors are W1-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Erste Liga. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Grazer are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Impressive finishing from M. Rusek secured the home win 1-0 against Floridsdorfer AC in their previous game.

Before that, Grazer secured a home win against Wacker Innsbruck with the score 3-1.

Grazer AK are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, two draws and one defeat. From a total of six matches.

The attacking power of Grazer AK when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 5 league matches away. As opposed to that, Grazer have seen the ball go into their own net 6 times on the road.
