Sturm Graz, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Sturm Graz and LASK Linz in their last match, which ended in a 2-2 draw. In that game they had 45% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to LASK Linz who had 13 attempts and 4 on target.
With 12 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Christian Ilzer will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 7 goals in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 28 of their 31 games this season.
There will be mixed feelings from Die Schwoazn, while they've been undefeated in their last 7 league games, they've drawn their last 3.
Goalscorer Otar Kiteishvili will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Sturm Graz.
Austria Klagenfurt, Recent FormThe 1-0 home defeat to Rapid Wien will not have sat easily with the Austria Klagenfurt squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 63%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Rapid Wien had 9 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Supremo Peter Pacult will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 14 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 9 goals they've managed to net. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 11 games overall.
They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table.
Andy Irving will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Austria Klagenfurt.
Austria Klagenfurt will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Sturm Graz, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 0-4 defeat.
In their past 5 meetings, Die Schwoazn's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so Klagenfurt will have to take their chances when they come. Sturm Graz have managed to keep a clean sheet against Klagenfurt in 4 of their previous 5 meetings. Playing away from home, Klagenfurt have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Sturm Graz. In the previous 5 matches between these sides, Die Schwoazn have shown they know their way around the Klagenfurt defence having scored 13 times against them in those 5 matches.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Sturm Graz has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Klagenfurt in 5 games.
Sturm Graz player Tomi Horvat will be feeling confident about recording goals against Klagenfurt ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 4 goals from their last 5 meetings.
There is only really one injury concern for the Sturm Graz manager Christian Ilzer ahead of this clash, with Gregory Wüthrich (Muscle) missing out, which gives Ilzer a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Klagenfurt manager Peter Pacult has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
