If Polten didn't acquire the new goal keeper Vran and thus put more emphasis on defense, this margin would have made sense to some extent. But, given the current situation, it seems way too high. While both matches in the first part of the season finished at 60 goals, the first one this year finished at 51, making it very clear what kind of consequences will the change in Polten's game style have. The visitors proved that that game was no exception against Schwatz, who are style-wise closer to Linz than any other team in the league. That game finished at 43 goals. Both coaches are calling for focus in defense today, meaning we shouldn't expect either team to play fast-paced game. Especially not Linz, who like battles of defenses. In accordance to that, this should finish at some 50 goals if the goal keepers have an average performances. Better performances could see this end like Polten's match with Schwatz.
