Austria Vienna vs Sturm Graz Prediction: Both teams are hopeful of returning to winning ways

Generali Arena will be the venue for round 6 of the Austria Bundesliga League. The two teams are coming off a league defeat. How will this game unfold?

Austria Vienna last to Rapid Vienna on the road the previous weekend and will look to turn things around. In that game, we witnessed a 1-1 draw at halftime, with Andreas Gruber leveling the scores for Austria Vienna before the break. However, a second-half 60th-minute Matthias Seidl was all Rapid Vienna needed to hand Austria Vienna their first defeat in seven matches. Heading into this game, Austria Vienna failed to win any of their last three matches, and two others ended in draws. 

Sturm Graz's last encounter was against Wolfsberger AC, which ended with a 0-3 loss. In that encounter, Sturm Graz conceded their first goal in the 20th minute, with Thierno Ballo putting Austria Vienna in the lead. However, goals from David Atanga and Erik Kojzek in the second half were good enough to see Sturm Graz lose two consecutive matches, having lost to Brest in a prior game. 

Sturm Graz should win this game despite being on the road. Austria Vienna has been a very tough player, and I respect them. However, on their best day, Sturm Graz consistently shows a high level of play. This could be a bit close, though, looking at their last meetings, but Sturm Graz has a good record and should take maximum points.
