Austria Wien form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Tipico Bundesliga this season. Austria Wien, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) at home in Tipico Bundesliga, have only managed 1 win, 3 draws and 2 losses from their games here at Generali Arena.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Patrick Pentz not having conceded a league goal in 248 minutes.

A good away victory last time out for Austria, who won 4-0 against Admira (placed 12th). Before that match, a win away at Ried.

As mentioned above, Austria "killed" Admira in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Austria Wien have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won three, drawn one and lost one.

The Austria fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 6 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
