Wolfsberger take on the visitors Sturm Graz in the round 1 match of Austrian Bundesliga. The match will be played on Sunday, July 24th at Lavanttal-Arena (Wolfsberg).
Wolfsberger had a very productive last season, finishing 4th, 1 point behind Austria, earning a chance to prove themselves in the Conference League qualification. Last season, the team was the leader in goals scored in the championship. In 14 out of 22 matches with the participation of the "wolves" there were over 2.5 goals. In the summer, the "wolves" parted ways with a number of players, who were replaced by 7 newcomers. Robin Dutt has remained in his place and things seem to be going uphill for the team. The last two matches in May 2022 should also be noted, where Wolfsberger defeated Rapid 2-1 and defeated Sturm 1-4 on the road. The match of the 1/32 finals of the Austrian Cup with FC Kuchl ended with a score of 4:1 in favor of Wolfsberger.

Sturm was better than his opponent. The team finished the previous Austrian Championship in 2nd place with 37 points (against Wolfsberger’s 28) and secured their place in the Europa League qualification. The last time Sturm became a champion was in 2011, but recently they have been regularly getting into the championship positions, although it is still difficult to compete with the Bulls. So last season, Red Bull Salzburg took the championship place with a good margin on points. At the same time, in the first stage of the Austrian Bundesliga, it was Sturm that was in first place in terms of scored goals in their matches.
In his last official match, Sturm defeated the grassroots Retis on the road with a score of 0:6. The teams have played 39 matches in their history. Wolfsburg won 17 times, Sturm - 18, 4 matches ended in a draw. Both teams are prolific in their championship, but Wolfsberger is unlikely to be able to play the first number in the upcoming match, especially since Sturm is eager for revenge. Therefore, the victory of Sturm with a handicap (0) for 1.99 can become a passing bet in the match.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
