Wolfsberger AC form and stats

Wolfsberger AC, who have the fewest points (4) at home in Tipico Bundesliga, have collected 4 points from their Tipico Bundesliga home games so far after 1-1-3.

A strong away win for Wolfsberger AC against Salzburg the last match, as Jonathan Scherzer, Dejan Joveljić and Eliel Peretz were on target. Nobody expected Wolfsberger to beat Salzburg in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. Ahead of that match, Wolfsberger won a home game hosting Amstetten (2-0).

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of F. Feldhofer when Eliel Peretz scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 66th minute.

This is expected to be a close game, with Wolfsberger AC perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Wolfsberger as a small favourite), we find three games. Wolfsberger AC has won zero of these, drawn one and lost two.

Goals decide football matches and Wolfsberger are scoring many of them at home; 10 on target from 5 league matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Wolfsberger have allowed the opposition to score 14 goals here at Lavanttal Arena.
