Sturm Graz hosts Wolfsberger AC in round 23 of Austrian Tipico Bundesliga. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 3rd at Merkur-Arena (Graz)
Six teams take part in the Austrian championship playoffs, and four of them will get a chance to compete for European cups. Currently, Sturm is located on the fifth line in the standings, lagging three points behind the fourth position, which Wolfsberger takes now. Graz is a favorite of the upcoming match, but this fact is very controversial because the hosts don’t have an advantage in terms of the following factors: statistics of head-to-head meetings, Sturm’s unstable game on the home pitch and the absence of fans in the stands, which, in fact, eliminates the status of the host. I am sure that certain difficulties will arise for the team from Graz.

Wolfsberger takes the fourth position, and a victory in the upcoming game will allow the visitors to secure the place in the top four (with high probability). I cannot but note that the visitors play well in the attack - Wolfsberger has already scored as many as 50 goals, and only Salzburg, which is the main contender for the title, has more. Playing away, the men of Feldhofer act very well - the squad lost only three times in 11 away meetings. I cannot but note the fact that Wolfsberger plays perfectly at the Merkur Arena - in the last four away matches, Wolfsberger gained three victories. I’m sure that the visitors have every chance to gain a positive result, and they will probably earn at least one point.
It seems to me that it is worth betting on the visitors. Yes, Wolfsberger has certain problems in the defense but the attack fully compensates for the flaws in the back line. Sturm is not very good on its pitch, and the history of head-to-head meetings speaks for the visitors - I think Wolfsberger will at least not lose.
Prediction for the match: Wolfsberger AC to win with +0.5 handicap
