Sturm Graz vs Grazer AK Prediction: The home side will be unstoppable

At Merkur Arena, Sturm Graz will play Grazer AK in a round 10 encounter of the Austria Bundesliga League. Heading into this game, the two teams secured a win last time out. Which side keeps things rolling here?

Sturm Graz are coming off a solid performance against the biggest rival, Red Bull Salzburg, and will look to repeat that performance here. In that game, Mike Biereth scored a hat trick, while Malick Yalcouye and Emanuel Aiwu also found the back of the net. In the meantime, Sturm Graz have won two of their last five matches in all competitions, one other against BW Linz. However, Sturm Graz's encounters against Wolfsberger and Club Brugge ended in defeats while they drew Austria Vienna. This season in the Austria Bundesliga League, Sturm Graz have 19 points, scoring 19 goals and conceding 10, leaving them top of the standings. 

Grazer AK played ASK Voitsberg in a friendly encounter during the international break and secured a 6-2 win. In that game, this team took a 4-1 lead before the break and scored twice in the second half. However, Grazer AK league performances show that the visiting team has zero wins in their first nine games. This season, Grazer AK have drawn four matches while losing five. The road team sits in the bottom spot in the standings, scoring 11 goals while conceding 18.

Following a solid performance against Red Bull Salzburg before the break, I do not expect Sturm Graz to struggle in this game. While Grazer AK have not also been a threat to any side this season, I do not see them having a chance against the league-leading Sturm Graz. Take the home team to win each half of this game, an encounter that should end with many goals.
