Salzburg looking for adventure and three points in Tipico Bundesliga trip to Mattersburg

The visiting Salzburg played their last game only three days ago, a Austrian Cup match. That game, against Ebreichsdorf, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Salzburg.

Mattersburg form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Tipico Bundesliga this season. Mattersburg have only managed 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses from their games here at Pappelstadion. Mattersburg has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager F. Ponweiser and the players.

Mattersburg lost their last game at Hartberg (placed 6th) after a 1-3 scoreline. A defeat was the result before that one, 2-7 away at LASK Linz.

Mattersburg has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. As for conceded goals, Mattersburg's unpleasant statistic is 15 goals surrendered.

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (50)in Tipico Bundesliga, on their Tipico Bundesliga travels is 3 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats. Visiting Salzburg has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

Salzburg play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 5-0 victory visiting Ebreichsdorf. Prior to that match, a home win 3-2 against Rapid Wien in the Tipico Bundesliga.

As mentioned above, Salzburg was the only team on the pitch versus Ebreichsdorf in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.

As mentioned earlier, Salzburg will not be satisfied unless they get maximum points from this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 9 wins (7 by two or more goals winning margin), 2 draws and 0 surprising defeats.

Salzburg has another fixture away, a Champions League game, against Napoli in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
