Austria Klagenfurt - Sturm Graz predictions

Austria Klagenfurt are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Tipico Bundesliga, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 4.17, it’s not very likely to happen.

Most bookies see Sturm Graz as the favourites in this matchup, though it’s important to know things can go either way. Their victory is currently priced at 1.93, indicating that the hosts have a fighting chance.

Austria Klagenfurt are coming off from a difficult Rapid Wien draw. Playing ahead of their supporters, they failed to utilize the home ground advantage and claim a win despite the unfavourable betting odds (4.31). They fell behind in the first half instead and were left fighting tooth and nail to salvage a point. Luckily, they succeeded.

Sturm Graz are coming on the back of a disappointing 1:1 draw in the previous round. Although it was an away game, their fans were hoping for a more definitive result considering they went into the match as slight favourites and were in the lead at half-time.

Austria Klagenfurt’s last two away games were marked by a low number of goals – one or less, to be exact. We’ll see if this trend continues for their away games.

Looking over the visitors and their recent history, we noticed they’ve scored more than 5 goals in their previous 3 appearances. This signals a consistent ability to score in most matchups, which is good news for their supporters.

It’s clear that Sturm Graz are the favourites in this matchup, and they have the numbers to back that up. They faced Austria Klagenfurt earlier this season and snagged a decisive victory which they’ll be looking to repeat.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

And Under 2.5 Goals bet may not be the obvious choice, but that may be exactly what makes it good. The 888Sport sportsbook is pricing this fixture at 1.86, which offers substantial betting value. It’s not without risks, of course, but it’s statistically an excellent choice.
