Sturm Graz Preview – Can Sturm Graz secure a European spot?
Wednesday’s hosts just have to avoid finishing bottom of the Championship Round in the Austrian Bundesliga in this second phase of their domestic top flight campaign to achieve some sort of qualifying spot for either Europa League or even Champions League.
Sturm Graz hold a two-point lead over bottom placed outfit, Hartberg, prior to the start of this second phase and having suffered a 2-0 loss away from home at Salzburg at the end of the regular season, the hosts will be keen to get off to a good start on Wednesday.
The hosts have managed just one win from their last six matches overall, while also winning just one of their last six matches on home turf at their Merkur Arena, so a straight win may be unlikely here but each of Sturm Graz’s last four home matches have seen both teams score.
Wolfsberger Preview – Can Wolfsberger hold off Sturm Graz challenge?
Wolfsberger start the second phase with a three-point lead over Wednesday’s hosts, Sturm Graz, and the visitors will be keen to keep it that way when they make their way to the Merkur Arena as they seek to not only nail down a Europa League qualifying spot, but also challenge for a possible qualifying spot in the Champions League.
The visitors have plenty of incentive to go for the win here as they’re just two points behind 2nd placed LASK at the start of these Championship Round matches and having lost just one of their last five matches, the momentum appears to slightly favour the visitors here.
However, results away from home have produced mixed returns as Wolfsberger have registered wins at Mattersburg 4-1 and a 4-0 win at St Polten but have also slipped to defeats away from home at Altach 2-1 and 2-0 at Tirol, but they’ve scored in all but one away match so far this season.
