St. Pölten have collected 10 points from their Erste Liga home games so far after 3-1-3.

A strong away win for Pölten against Wacker Innsbruck the last match, as D. Alar were on target. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of S. Helm when D. Alar scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 73rd minute.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Austria Lustenau.

O. Filip, C. Ikwuemesi, David González and A. Pasić scored in Vorwärts's previous match, the home game against Dornbirn that ended 4-1.

Before that, Vorwärts travelled to Liefering and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Vorwärts Steyr played away with similar odds. This revealed eight games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected eight times.

The attacking power of Vorwärts when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Vorwärts have conceded 15 goals in these games.
