St. Pölten form and stats

There's been little loot from St. Pölten's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 6 away games in the Tipico Bundesliga. St. Pölten, who have the fewest scored goals (8) in Tipico Bundesliga, only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 2 draws.

St. Pölten failed to get anything from their last game, a Tipico Bundesliga home match vs Sturm Graz (placed 5th) that ended with defeat 0-4. A draw for St. Pölten before that, at their own venue hosting Austria Wien (2-2).

St. Pölten lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking St. Pölten's match history for similar games we find four matches. The home team won 3 of these as expected, 2 of them by at least two goals. St. Pölten managed 1 draw and 0 surprise wins.

Goals are few and far between in St. Pölten's away league games. Only 3 goals from 6 travels. The opposition has been scoring high and low on St. Pölten's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 15 goals in 6 travels.
