Vorwärts Steyr form and stats

Vorwärts manager W. Wahlmüller and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Amstetten (placed 6th) in the Erste Liga. Ahead of that match, Vorwärts won a home game hosting Bruck/Leitha (1-0).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Vorwärts Steyr's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won zero matches, drawn one and lost zero.

Last season, Vorwärts Steyr's league statistics were 11 wins, 8 draws and 11 losses, resulting in a 7th position in the Erste Liga. Over these 30 matches they scored 42 goals and conceded 36. Playing at home last season Vorwärts Steyr managed 6-4-5 (win-draw-lost) with 19 goals and 16 conceded.

Kapfenberger SV form and stats

The attacking players of Kapfenberger have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 483 minutes.

Kapfenberger failed to get anything from their last game, a Erste Liga home match vs Wacker Innsbruck (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 0-3. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-3 defeat against Austria Wien II.

Kapfenberger did not look prepared in the first half against Wacker Innsbruck and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Kapfenberger playing away, we found three games. Results were two away wins, zero draws and one home win.

Let's have a look at how Kapfenberger SV performed last season in the Erste Liga: They landed a 16th position in the league table after playing out 6 victories, 4 draws and 20 defeats. In total they scored 34 and conceded 69 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 1 and lost 12 with 15/40 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

As for the last four games between these two teams, there's one Vorwärts victory, one draw and two Kapfenberger SV wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.
