Sturm Graz, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Sturm Graz players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Red Bull Salzburg. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 0 hitting the target, up against Red Bull Salzburg's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Having scored 12 and conceded just 3 goals in their last 6 games, manager Christian Ilzer could be forgiven for feeling their recent points haul doesn't quite deliver on the reward his team's strong performance deserves. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and when playing at home this season, they've notched up 6 clean sheets in 12 games.
With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.
