VIENNA (Interstat) — An unstoppable force meets a struggling side Friday when Austrian 2. Liga leader St. Pölten, riding an historic unbeaten streak, visits last-place Liefering.

St. Pölten (8-0-1) has dominated the league, outscoring opponents 24-5. Its form extends across all competitions, with an overall record of 11 wins and two draws. The club is coming off a 1-0 victory over Austria Lustenau on Oct. 17, its eighth consecutive win.

Conversely, Liefering (1-1-3) has found wins hard to secure, managing only one victory in its last nine matches across all contests. It enters the match following a 2-0 loss to Floridsdorfer.

Statistical models offer conflicting forecasts. Interstat’s game simulator projects an upset with Liefering winning 2-1, while its ELO rating system gives St. Pölten an 87.7% probability of victory, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the sport.

The match is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 24, 2025, at Liefering’s home ground.
