Rapid Wien - Sturm Graz predictions

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Rapid Wien on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

The hosts are coming off from an important away victory in the Tipico Bundesliga. Rapid Wien kept it all level at the halftime mark only to go full throttle in the second half for a resounding Ried triumph.

Although Sturm Graz had the advantage of playing at home in the previous round, the game could have gone either way if top online bookmakers are to be believed. Rather than a close showdown, however, the game ended up being a complete rout for them. They fell behind early and eventually lost 1:3.

The hosts’ fans are somewhat disappointed at them, given the lacklustre defensive performances they’ve seen recently. Rapid Wien conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 games played at Allianz Stadion.

Sturm Graz’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 6 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 2.37 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, Rapid Wien won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

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.

There’s nothing quite worse than losing a wager to a surprise draw, which is a distinct possibility in this matchup. Nonetheless, our solution is to simply go for a Draw No Bet market for a Home Win – an excellent chance of success, plus decent value with the odds set at 1.
