Sturm Graz vs Austria Klagenfurt Prediction: Home team will not disappoint

Sturm Graz will host Austria Klagenfurt at Merkur-Arena in Graz in this round of 19 Austria Bundesliga League matches. While Austria Klagenfurt has lost their last three matches in a row, the home team was victorious in their most recent match against Hartberg.

Fans of Sturm Graz will be hoping for a result similar to their most recent game, which was a victory over TSV Hartberg by a score of 1-2 in the Bundesliga. During that game, Sturm Graz had a 40% possession rate and 14 shots on goal, with only three of those shots hitting the target. Manprit Sarkaria (in the 11th minute) and Tomi Horvat (in the 44th minute) were the ones to score for Sturm Graz. The TSV Hartberg had 13 shots on goal, with six of them actually hitting the target. The goal for TSV Hartberg came in the 75th minute from Dario Tadi. Sturm Graz's defense has only shown its mettle in a few of the most recent games on isolated occasions. The fact of the matter is that Sturm Graz have conceded goals in five of their most recent six matches, totaling a total of six goals along the way.

Austria Klagenfurt will be looking to make amends for their loss to Wolfsberger AC in the Bundesliga competition they played in their most recent match, which will take place here. In that game, Austria Klagenfurt had 64% of the possession and made 15 shots on goal, with 4 of them finding the back of the net. On the other end of the field, Wolfsberger AC had 11 shots on goal, with 5 of them finding their intended target. Wolfsberger AC got goals from Maurice Malone (in the 25th minute) and Tai Baribo (30th and 44th minutes). The statistics tell the story, as Austria Klagenfurt has allowed opponents to score in six of their last six games, leading to a total of 13 goals being scored against them in those contests. In the secondary position, Austria Klagenfurt have had their vulnerabilities brought to light. Away from home in either of Austria Klagenfurt's previous two league matches counts as a loss for them heading into this one.

The home team has displayed a great quality of play throughout this match, and they are deserving of the victory. It is expected that the fact that they are playing for the league title will give them even more motivation in this match. Even though Klagenfurt's play has dropped since the beginning of the season, we don't see them as much of a threat. Even if they score a goal in this game, it won't be enough for them to win. This justifies a wager on the home team winning and scoring at least 1.5 goals.
