Sturm Graz, Recent FormSturm Graz will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-1 away win against TSV Hartberg. Their share of possession in that meeting was 40%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to TSV Hartberg, who had 8 shots on goal with 3 on target.
It's clear that Christian Ilzer, their manager, will be very satisfied with his side's performance over the last 6 matches, a spell which has seen them notch up 13 goals and only give 3 away. They have scored in 23 of their 26 games this season, and of the 13 games they have played at home, they've notched up 7 clean sheets.
Winning 4 and being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 league games at Merkur-Arena, marks a good spell of home form for Sturm Graz.
Goalscorer Mika Biereth will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Sturm Graz.
Rapid Wien, Recent FormRapid Wien had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against Austria Klagenfurt. They came away from that fixture with a 63% share of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Austria Klagenfurt, who managed 7 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Robert Klauß will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 4 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and when playing away from home this season, they've notched up 6 clean sheets in 13 games.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 9 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Marco Grüll will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 6 goals in Rapid Wien's last 6 league games.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
Sturm Graz will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 11 encounters with Die Grün-Weißen.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but Rapid Wien hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings.
Manprit Sarkaria will be looking to get on the scoresheet for Sturm Graz against Rapid Wien in this one, having netted 3 goals in the previous 5 encounters between the two.
