Sturm Graz take on the visitors SK Rapid in the final match of Austrian OFB Cup. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 1st at Wörthersee Stadion (Klagenfurt).
The Austrian Cup final is notable because the modern unquestioned hegemon of local football, Red Bull Salzburg, will not participate. Instead, old-school giants in the easily recognizable forms of Sturm and Rapid will face each other. In a match where I will attempt to predict not the hockey-like developments on the green turf of a neutral stadium in Klagenfurt. Because the stakes of this encounter are very high, when else will Sturm and Rapid have the chance to compete for the trophy? After all, the aforementioned Salzburg have been dominating everything for many years now... Be that as it may, the black and whites from Graz have not always demonstrated an entirely open style of play recently. In particular, they recently played on various under totals in duels with LASK 1-0, the same Red Bull 0-1, and Blau-Weiss Linz 0-2.

Fans of the highly decorated capital club Rapid have been eagerly awaiting high honors from their favorites. Who in recent seasons have been overshadowed by more successful and affluent competitors. But they have returned to the forefront this year as finalists of the Cup. Yes, right now Rapid are inferior to Sturm in terms of class. Therefore, the chance for a successful outcome of this match for the white-greens likely lies in a strict defensive game. Engaging in the local open brawl with the nominal hosts could be costly for the visitors. Because Graz have strong attacking resources for the Austrian championship.
Furthermore, Rapid have recent experience in containing Sturm's attacking power, even on their own territory - only within the ongoing upper playoffs. It nearly worked out for the white-greens, who lost to the black and whites on April 19 of this year with an anti-productive score of 0-1. Therefore, I'll try to predict a low-scoring match again, with a bet on a total under 3, at a decent coefficient”
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
