Austria Vienna vs. Sturm Graz Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Austria Vienna and Sturm Graz, taking place on Saturday, 14 September 2024, at Generali-Arena in Vienna.
Austria Vienna, Recent Form
Austria Vienna were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 1-1 draw against SCR Altach. They came away from that fixture with 63% of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, SCR Altach managed 15 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 9 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games overall.
Unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches can be counted as a good run of form, particularly with 3 victories included.
Sturm Graz, Recent Form
Sturm Graz head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 4-2 home win against WSG Tirol in their last league encounter. In that game they recorded 53 % of the possession, with 17 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 13 shots on goal.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 12 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Christian Ilzer will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 4 goals in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row.
With 5 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Sturm Graz, Otar Kiteishvili will be looking to add more goals against Austria Vienna in this match.
