Sturm Graz - Austria Wien predictions

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.17, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

Austria Wien appear severely unprepared for a clash with Sturm Graz, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 3.81 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Sturm Graz’s previous Tipico Bundesliga clash came down to a single goal making the difference. Sturm Graz held well for the first 45 minutes but did not have enough gas in their tank to push through the entire match. In the end, a narrow Austria Wien home defeat is what they will be looking to bounce back from this Sunday.

Austria Wien recorded a close home win at the end of their previous Tipico Bundesliga match, which was a fairly strong outcome for them. After all, top online bookmakers priced them winning at 3.18 which is quite long if you consider their home-field advantage.

Sturm Graz’s attackers have been seeing a lot of success lately, even in away matches. For instance, they scored 8 times during the course of their previous three away games.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Austria Wien’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

Though the odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, the head-to-head history for this Tipico Bundesliga clash tells a different story. Sturm Graz lost the last time these two teams met on the pitch, so an upset is definitely possible.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
