Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Wolfsberger AC in 5th and Wattens in 7th place.
- Wattens have the most dropped points from leading position (17) in Tipico Bundesliga
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Wolfsberger AC form and stats
With 2 Tipico Bundesliga wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Wolfsberger AC are certainly not brimming with confidence.
A strong away win for Wolfsberger against Ried the last match, as Dario Vizinger, Dejan Joveljić, Michael Liendl and Thorsten Röcher were on target. Preceding that match was a Austrian Cup defeat to LASK Linz (after extra-time) (0-1).
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Wolfsberger AC played a great game against Ried and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Wolfsberger have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won four times, drawn one and lost zero.
Wolfsberger has scored 12 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Wolfsberger defense is not exactly impregnable. 19 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Wattens form and stats
Playing away, Wattens have won 4 games, drawn 2 and suffered 4 defeats in the Tipico Bundesliga this season.
Wattens delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Sturm Graz (placed 4th) in their previous match; a Tipico Bundesliga game. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Admira that ended 1-1.
Wattens are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, zero draws and three defeats. From a total of seven matches.
The travelling fans enjoy Wattens's attacking play in away games, having scored 15 goals in 10 league matches away. Wattens's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 15 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Wattens - Wolfsberger AC 4-1. Head-to-head totals (for the last three meetings): Wolfsberger won zero games, one match ended with a draw and Wattens has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / oneTop Goalscorers
