ℹ️ Team News: Sturm Graz

Alexandar Borkovic (Cruciate ligament tear), Niklas Geyrhofer (Knee surgery), Seedy Jatta (Ankle injury), Arjan Malic (Broken nose bone) and Fally Mayulu (Muscle injury) will not be taking part for Sturm Graz boss Jürgen Säumel.

It’s our opinion that die Schwoazn will probably use the 4-3-3 system for this one featuring Kjell Scherpen, Emanuel Aiwu, Dimitri Lavalée, Gregory Wüthrich, Max Johnston, Otar Kiteishvili, Malick Yalcouye, Jon Gorenc-Stankovic, Leon Grgic, William Böving and Tomi Horvat.

📋 Team News: Wolfsberger AC

We are inclined to think that Wolfsberger AC seem most likely to elect for a 3-4-1-2 formation by sending out Nikolas Polster, Dominik Baumgartner, Chibuike Nwaiwu, Nicolas Wimmer, Boris Matic, Simon Piesinger, Emmanuel Agyemang, Maximilian Ullmann, Dejan Zukic, Markus Pink and Thierno Ballo.

⚡ Prediction

Wolfsberger AC might well have a job on their hands to put one past this Sturm Graz lineup who we think will score one, at least.

We’re therefore predicting a very competitive game with a 1-0 winning margin for Sturm Graz when the referee blows for full-time.

Should be an interesting one.
