Dornbirn form and stats

Dornbirn have collected 10 points from their Erste Liga home games so far after 2-4-2. Dornbirn has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager M. Mader and the players.

The fans are hoping that Dornbirn will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-4 away loss in the Erste Liga game against Austria Lustenau (placed 5th). Before that game, the home loss against Ried with the scoreline 0-5.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Dornbirn have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found three matches with the results: Won three, drawn zero and lost zero.

Goals decide football matches and Dornbirn are scoring many of them at home; 16 on target from 8 league matches. Dornbirn are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (16 from 8 played).

There were no winners in Wacker Innsbruck's previous match, a Erste Liga home game that ended 1-1 vs Vorwarts Steyr (placed 4th). A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting SV Horn II.
