Rapid Vienna hosts Sturm Graz in round 24 of Austrian Tipico Bundesliga. The match will be played on Sunday, June 7th at Allianz Stadion (Vienna)
One point scored in the upcoming match will allow Rapid to gain a foothold in the top three and break away from Wolfsberger, which is waiting for an incredibly difficult duel with LASK. Injured forward Schobesberger (2 + 3) still cannot help the White-Greens, and it surely reduces the attacking potential of the hosts.

However, it is also not particularly necessary for Sturm to strain in the attack because the fourth Wolfsberger is at a distance of as much as six points. Of course, it is not easy to win back such a gap. A draw will allow Sturm to catch up with Hartberg and take fifth place. The division of points seems to me a more logical option than a pointless goal shootout after one day of rest, which will not bring the teams anything but excessive fatigue.
Under 3.0 goals scored took place in the last 13 head-to-head meetings, although each time there was a full house at the stadium. Austrian fans are known for their hot temperament, but they will not be present in the stands because of quarantine. The absence of fans will significantly reduce the intensity of the match and relieve tension from players during the game. No one will have to run headlong under the roar of other people's voices. Tired football players of Rapid will not be pressured from the stands. Because of the lack of strength, they will start rolling the ball in midfield. Sturm that practices a defensive formation (3-5-2) on the road will defend its goal, keeping the home team far from its penalty box and gradually slowing down the pace of the match with small fouls. All this will lead to a rather boring and low-scoring game.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
