Austria Wien form and stats

1 victory, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Austria Wien have to build on here at Generali Arena in the Tipico Bundesliga.

The fans are hoping that Austria will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the Tipico Bundesliga game against Wolfsberger AC (placed 7th). Ahead of that match, Austria lost 0-4 at home to Sturm Graz.

The defeat against Wolfsberger AC was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored three minutes into stoppage time (by M. Liendl).

Austria are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 games. Austria Wien have conceded 10 goals in these home games, a significant number.

LASK Linz form and stats

1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of LASK Linz playing as the away team in the Tipico Bundesliga this season.

LASK Linz go into this game after a win, the home game against Elektra that ended 3-0. Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Salzburg's place.

It was a convincing performance from LASK when Elektra were beaten. The team "killed" the match in the first half leading 3-0 and the second half was comfortable. J. Eggestein (3) scored their goals. J. Eggestein certainly enjoyed LASK's last game versus Elektra, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 3-0 victory.

LASK are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 5 away goals from 5 games (in the league). LASK struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 8 goals conceded from these games.
