Austria Lustenau vs Sturm Graz Prediction: Sturm Graz to roar back to winning ways

One of the 20th round Austria Bundesliga games will be played at Planet Pure Stadion. After losing their last games, both teams are hoping to do better in this one.

After suffering a 1-0 defeat to LASK Linz in their most recent Bundesliga match, Austria Lustenau will be looking to get back on track. During that game, Austria Lustenau held a 42% possession advantage and had 5 shots on goal, with only 1 of them finding the target. LASK Linz had a total of 11 shots on goal, but only five were successful. The goal was scored by Marin Ljubic in the 94th minute for LASK Linz. The Markus Mader-led Austria Lustenau team has scored in each of their previous six games for a total of eight goals. Nine is the total number of goals that have been scored against them during that span of time as compared to their own total. Austria Lustenau had not lost any of their previous four home league matches going into this one.

After suffering a loss in their previous match in the Bundesliga competition against Austria Klagenfurt, both Sturm Graz and their fans who traveled with them will be hoping for a different outcome in this one. During that match, Sturm Graz controlled the ball for 68% of the game and had 14 shots on goal, with only three of them finding the target. David Affengruber was the one who scored Sturm Graz's own goal in the 11th minute. On the other hand, Austria Klagenfurt had eight shots on goal, but only two of them were successful in hitting the target. The goal for Austria Klagenfurt came in the 54th minute from Markus Pink. Sturm Graz has scored seven goals in their previous six matches, breaking through the defenses of their opponents on a fairly consistent basis in their most recent matchups. Sturm Graz's manager, Christian Ilzer, will undoubtedly see it as a positive indication, although the team has been fairly leaky at the back, having also conceded goals in five of those same matches where they played. Sturm Graz had not tasted defeat on the road in any of their previous nine league matches leading up to this meeting.

The home team, Austria Lustenau, has not been performing to the best of their abilities as of late, and their results have been erratic. Still, even though they lost against Klagenfurt last weekend, Sturm Graz is still a better and stronger team. Despite the assumption that Sturm Graz will have an easy time defeating this Lustenau team, we have given this a lot of thought and analysis, and we do not anticipate a match with a high goal scoring total.
