Football – Austria – Bundesliga Betting Tips

Just two matches remain in the Austrian Bundesliga and the race for the Europa League position will intensify as hosts Sturm Graz take on fifth placed Admira at their Merkur Arena, as they look to make their european slot safe with a win here on Thursday afternoon.

Although Stum Graz currently occupy third place in the Austrian top flight, recent results have been a little inconsistent as they’ve registered recent wins over St Polten and Rheindorf Altach, but have also suffered defeats to Mattersburg, Austria Vienna, and last time out to Rapid Vienna.

The home side possess a reasonable home record though with stats of  10-2-5  30/20 which includes a good run of form in recent weeks as they’ve collected five wins from their last six on home turf. Look out for striker and leading goalscorer Alar (16 goals).

Visitors Admira were dealt a 2-0 defeat at runaway leaders Salzburg last time out, and they face what looks like another difficult fixture when they make their way to Sturm Graz, also with some mixed results in recent matches.

Admira sit in fifth spot but have no way of catching up their hosts, Sturm Graz, as they sit 11 points adrift ahead of this clash. The visitors have recorded recent wins over St Polten, Rapid Vienna and Wolfsberger (but these were all registered at their BSFZ-Arena), while suffering losses at Ried and the aforementioned Salzburg.

Admira’s overall away record stands at an unconvincing  5-4-8  13/24 which has seen them lose back-to-back away matches, along with failing to score in eight of their 17 away matches to date, as the goals have been hard to come by on their travels.

Pick: Sturm Graz to win @ 1.65 Betway
