Struggling Mattersburg will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Wolfsberger AC in the upcoming league round. It's 11th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Mattersburg form and stats
With 1 Tipico Bundesliga win, 1 draw and 5 defeats from their home games, Mattersburg, who have the most conceded goals (40) in Tipico Bundesliga, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Mattersburg with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Rheindorf Altach game, 55 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Mattersburg, their manager F. Ponweiser and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Mattersburg has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Mattersburg have allowed the opposition to score 18 goals here at Pappelstadion.
