Sturm Graz - Wolfsberger AC predictions

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.65 is a solid option. That said, Wolfsberger AC may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

The odds are stacked heavily against Wolfsberger AC here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Sturm Graz are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.85.

Sturm Graz dominated the second half of their most recent Tipico Bundesliga bout, though the match wasn’t as one-sided as most bookies expected. They were behind at half-time despite the home-field advantage and heavily favourable betting odds.

Wolfsberger AC barely managed to avoid a loss in their previous home game. Their opponents, Rapid Wien, were seen as hard favourites in that matchup and snatched an early lead. Luckily, Wolfsberger AC equalized, and the game ended 1:1.

Sturm Graz have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

Wolfsberger AC fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 6 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

The 1.65 betting odds for a home win paint the hosts as the favourites in this matchup, and the head-to-head stats agree. For example, the two teams clashed last season, and Sturm Graz won with a considerable goal advantage.

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.

Based on the information available, a Draw/Home in the HT/FT market is a more likely outcome than the 1.65 odds are implying. It’s still a risky bet to take, but it offers strong value.
