FC Liefering's Recent Performances

FC Liefering has had a mixed start to their domestic season, sitting mid-table with 13 points from eight matches. Recent form indicates some inconsistency, with a notable victory against Sturm Graz II but a heavy defeat to Floridsdorfer AC.

Despite a loss to Magdeburg U19, Mainz has demonstrated resilience and attacking prowess, particularly away from home, where they have scored an average of 2.40 goals per game.
