  • Blau-Weiß Linz have the most scored goals (59) in Erste Liga

Blau-Weiß Linz could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Erste Liga game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Amstetten. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

SV Horn II form and stats

Overall Erste Liga stats at home this season for SV Horn II, who have the most conceded goals (49) in Erste Liga, are 4-3-5 (wins-draw-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Horn with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Juniors OO game, 21 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Game days at Sparkasse Horn Arena have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Horn as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

No payout for Horn in their previous match, an away game at Rapid Wien II that ended in defeat 0-1. Preceding that match was a defeat to Wacker Innsbruck (2-3).

A decent goal production from Horn in their home games so far, with 19 goals from 12 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 23 goals have been conceded.
