Vorwärts Steyr form and stats

Vorwärts Steyr's struggle is real here at EK Kammerhofer Arena with only 9 points collected from 10 Erste Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-5.

Vorwärts's last game was hosting Grazer AK (placed 7th) and winning 3-2.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Juniors OÖ (1-3).

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

The Vorwärts Steyr fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 10 matches. Vorwärts have conceded 21 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Austria Wien II form and stats

As the visiting team in Erste Liga matches, Austria Wien II have produced an overall stat of 3-3-4 so far.

Austria Wien II have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 186 minutes ago. Smrcka was the goal scorer. Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Austria goalkeeper Mathias Gindl is eager to challenge this, with his 201 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

There were no winners in Austria Wien II's previous match, the home game that ended 0-0 vs St. Polten (placed 8th).

A 0-0 draw at Liefering's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Austria Wien II playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were five Austria Wien II wins, five draws and one defeat.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Austria have scored 14 goals in 10 league games away. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Austria Wien II struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 15 goals conceded from these games.
