Season ticket holders at NV Arena haven’t seen too many victories this season, with St. Pölten languishing in the 9th position so far. The guesting Rheindorf Altach will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
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!
Relegation threatens St. Pölten who should definitely be looking for some points here. Rheindorf Altach are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
St. Pölten form and stats
With 1 Tipico Bundesliga win, 3 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, St. Pölten are certainly not brimming with confidence.
The fans are hoping that St. Pölten will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the Tipico Bundesliga game against Hartberg (placed 6th). In the match before that, St. Pölten hosted Mattersburg and drew the game 0-0.
This is expected to be a close game, with St. Pölten perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with St. Pölten as a small favourite), we find three games. St. Pölten has won 3 of these, drawn 0 and lost 0.
The St. Pölten fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 8 matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, St. Pölten having conceded 21 goals here at NV Arena so far.
