LASK Linz, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for LASK Linz and TSV Hartberg in their last match, which ended in a 0-0 draw. In that game they had 50% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to TSV Hartberg who had 7 attempts and 1 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Thomas Sageder will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 5 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, and overall this season they have recorded 9 clean sheets in 19 games.
They have been performing well at Raiffeisen Arena recently and are unbeaten in their last 10 home games.
On an individual basis, Robert Žulj will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Raiffeisen Arena having scored 5 goals in LASK Linz's last 6 home games in the league.
Wolfsberger AC, Recent FormIn their last league encounter, Wolfsberger AC racked up a stunning 4-1 home win against WSG Tirol. They achieved 57% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against WSG Tirol's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
This has been a difficult period for the team in terms of away form, with 3 defeats and just 2 victories in their last 6 matches away from home.
Thierno Ballo will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Wolfsberger AC.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 2-1 win for Wolfsberger AC.
The Linz defence has struggled in front of its own fans when Wolfsberger have come to town, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 meetings at Raiffeisen Arena.
There is only really one injury concern for the Linz manager Thomas Sageder ahead of this clash, with Tobias Lawal (Foot) missing out, which gives Sageder a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only Michael Novak (Muscle) and Samson Tijani (Leg) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Manfred Schmid will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
