St Polten vs FK Austria Vienna Predictions

• Over 2.5 goals have been scored in three of the last four meetings between these two clubs.
• Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 91% of St. Polten’s home games this season.
• Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 73% of Austria Vienna’s away games this season.

St. Polten knocked in five without reply away at bottom of the table Swarovski Tirol on Tuesday evening, with Jamaican striker Cory Burke helped himself to a hat trick. Austria Vienna also claimed 3pts from their midweek match against Admira but in a much more conventional fashion, as Fitz scored the games only goal midway through the second half.

Just 4pts separate these two clubs heading into this weekends’ clash and with four of the duo’s last six encounters ending in stalemates, we’re predicting another close and competitive ninety minutes this Saturday. The last time St. Polten played host to Austria Vienna the game ended 2-2 and three of the pairs’ last four head to heads have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals.

Austria Vienna head into this match as the form favourites due to their current unbeaten run that stands at ten matches. However, seven of those games have ended in draws, only two of which have been goalless, and we have backed another stalemate for the visitors this weekend.

Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 91% of St. Polten’s home games as well as in 73% of Austria Vienna’s away trips, so you can see why we are predicting plenty of goals to be scored in Saturday’s clash. 73% of Austria Vienna’s away games have seen both teams score and with seven of their last ten matches ending in stalemates, we are predicting a final scoreline of 2-2 on Saturday.
