Sturm Graz’s Austria Bundesliga title defence begins at the Raiffeisen Arena on Friday as they travel to trade tackles with LASK on matchday one. The Blacks will look out for a winning start against the Linz-based outfit. Follow our prediction for the match below.
Despite a late drop-off during the run-in, Sturm Graz secured their fifth Austrian Bundesliga title last season following a 1-1 draw against Wolfsberger AC in the final matchday. They have won three of their last five competitive matches dating back to last season. This includes a 4-0 away demolition of second-division side Bischofshofen in the Austrian Cup first round in their last match.
Notably, three of their last four competitive matches have witnessed moderate scorelines ranging from two to four goals. Their last six away matches against LASK also ended with that same goal range.
LASK reached the Conference League playoff final last season, and lost 4-3 to SK Rapid. They shook off that loss to open this campaign with a resounding 4-0 win over Wiener Sport-Club in the Austrian Cup first round in their last match.
Additionally, Markus Schopp’s side have been prolific in attack lately. They have scored nine goals in their last four competitive matches and conceded four, all of which fall within the two to four goal benchmark.
