Austria Wien form and stats
Austria's mission in Europa Conference League last season failed in the 2nd qualifying round against Breidablik.2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. That’s the product of Austria Wien playing as the away team in the Admiral Bundesliga this season.
Austria Wien might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Sturm Graz proved too strong as Austria Wien slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Generali Arena. Austria Wien keeper Früchtl could enjoy a terrific shift against Sturm Graz, but in spite of managing nine saves the defeat could not be evaded.
Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Ried in the Admiral Bundesliga.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Austria manager Schmid as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Rapid Wien.
It's early days yet, but Austria Wien has scored 10 and conceded 10 goals from their travels in the league so far (5 games).
