Sturm Graz - Hartberg betting tips and odds

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.51, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic Hartberg fans are expecting them to triumph at Sturm Graz this Sunday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

The hosts were also playing at the Merkur Arena in the previous round, but it didn’t matter too much in the end. It just meant their home supporters witnessed them drag the game on while failing to earn a lead, ultimately resulting in a 2:2 tie.

Although Hartberg’s previous Tipico Bundesliga outing at Austria Wien was a crushing away loss, it’s hard to judge their form based on that performance alone. After all, they were out-classed by Austria Wien, who secured an early lead and a comfortable 2:0 victory in the end.

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.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.60 odds offered at Betsson.
