An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 12th and the visitors in 11th place.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Mattersburg form and stats

Mattersburg's struggle is real here at Pappelstadion with only 4 points collected from 8 Tipico Bundesliga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-1-6. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Mattersburg fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Hartberg game long ago, can be stopped today.

Mattersburg manager F. Ponweiser and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus St. Polten (placed 8th) in the Tipico Bundesliga. Ahead of that match, Mattersburg lost 1-4 at home to Wolfsberger AC.

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 Mattersburg have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found two matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 0 Lost 1.

The Mattersburg fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Mattersburg have allowed the opposition to score 22 goals here at Pappelstadion.
