STURM GRAZ v SALZBURG
Sunday 7th October 2018 – Kickoff: 1700hrs
Football – Austria – Bundesliga Betting Tips
The second featured match in the Austrian Bundesliga is a clash between Sturm Graz and top of the table Salzburg with further betting tips brought to you from the Merkur Arena in Graz.
Sturm Graz have made a reasonable start to the new Austrian domestic top flight season as they sit in 6th place and currently occupy one of the Championship Round positions. There is of course a long way to go, but the hosts have suffered just one defeat from their last six matches overall, which was a 2-1 loss at home to 7th placed Mattersburg.
The hosts have actually performed better on the road than on home turf so far this season though as they’ve won two of their three wins on their travels at Wacker Innsbruck and Admira – both of whom occupy the bottom two positions in the Bundesliga.
In addition, the home side are without a win from their last three at their Merkur Arena, so the visit of high-flying Salzburg is likely to be a tough test.
Onto Salzburg, and the visitors sit top of the Bundesliga with a comfortable six-point cushion under their belts ahead of their trip to Graz this Sunday evening. They also come into this encounter fresh from their 3-1 triumph over Celtic in the Europa League during the week, and having won their last seven matches in all competitions on the trot, Salzburg will be in confident mood.
Salzburg still possess an excellent 100% winning record in the Austrian top flight, while their away record stands at 4-0-0 12/4 having accounted for Mattersburg, Rheindorf Altach, 2nd placed St Polten and 5th placed Wolfsberger so far this season.
Salzburg also possess the dangerous attacking pair of Dabour (7 goals) and Prevljak (4 goals) with Dabour netting twice against Celtic.
My betting tips fancy a flutter on the visitors in this one.
