Sturm Graz vs Austria Klagenfurt Prediction: A mouthwatering goal scoring contest ahead

In one of the games that will be played during the third week of the Austria Bundesliga, Austria Klagenfurt will travel to Graz to take on Sturm Graz. After winning their first game of the league season seven times in a row, Sturm Graz's streak came to an end when they were upset by PSV in a Champions League qualifier. After playing Wolfsberger to a tie over the course of the week, Austria Klagenfurt were able to extend their current unbeaten streak to six games without suffering a defeat.

Sturm Graz won't want a repetition of their last outcome here after suffering a 4-1 loss to PSV Eindhoven in their most recent match in the UCL Qualifiers. During that match, Sturm Graz had 29% possession of the ball and 9 shots on goal, with only 2 of them finding the target. For Sturm Graz, Jon Gorenc Stankovi was the only player to get his name on the scoresheet when they scored in the 40th minute. On the other end of the field, PSV had 21 shots on goal, with 11 of them finding their mark. PSV Eindhoven's goals were scored by Isaac Babadi in the fourth minute, Luuk de Jong in the twenty-second and thirty-second minutes, and Ibrahim Sangaré in the seventieth minute. In recent years, games against Sturm Graz have frequently been entertaining affairs, with a high number of goals scored being a consistent feature of these contests. There have been a combined total of 26 goals scored by both teams in their most recent six matches against one another (which works out to an average of 4.33 goals scored per game), with Sturm Graz being credited for 17 of these goals.

Wolfsberger AC and Austria Klagenfurt played each other to a 2-2 draw in their most recent meeting in the Bundesliga. During that match, Austria Klagenfurt had 49% of the ball and 15 shots on goal, with only 4 of them finding the back of the net. Christopher Cvetko scored a goal for Austria Klagenfurt in the 37th minute, and Christopher Wernitznig scored in the 81st minute. Wolfsberger AC had a total of seven shots on goal, only four of which were successful. Wolfsberger AC got their first goal in the 65th minute from Ervin Omi, and their second goal came from Augustine Boakye in the 75th minute. In their most recent games, Austria Klagenfurt have been productive in front of the net, as evidenced by the fact that they have scored 13 goals in their most recent six outings. In spite of the fact that their manager, Peter Pacult, will almost certainly interpret that as a good indication, Austria Klagenfurt still has room for defensive improvement given the fact that they have conceded goals in five of those same matches.

Sturm Graz Predicted Lineup:

Kjell Scherpen, Jusuf Gazibegovic, Gregory Wüthrich, David Affengruber, David Schnegg, Jon Gorenc-Stankovic, Stefan Hierländer, Tomi Horvat, Otar Kiteishvili, Szymon Włodarczyk, William Böving.

Austria Klagenfurt Predicted Lineup:

Phillip Menzel, Kosmas Gezos, Simon Straudi, Thorsten Mahrer, Nicolas Wimmer, Till Schumacher, Rico Benatelli, Andrew Irving, Christopher Cvetko, Sinan Karweina, Jonas Arweiler.

Both teams have formidable offensive players who have proven their worth and are performing consistently well. However, given that neither team's defense is exceptional, we should anticipate goals being scored from both ends of the field. In addition, the home team is favored to win this match, and given that they have previously demonstrated commanding dominance against opponents of a lower level, I believe that they will prevail here.
