Sturm Graz :
Although Sturm Graz has never invested much in new players in recent years, the Styrians are showing the competition that they can go without big bang transfers. Last season, the “Schwozen” finished third in the season and secured a ticket for the Europaleague qualifying. However, Sturm Graz failed in the 3rd qualifying round at Fenerbahce Istanbul. In the league it was as desired, but the first six games could be won. In the following, however, there were a few dampers. Sturm lost two away games with the LASK and Admira in a row and also played at home against Altach only draw. In the last game before the national league, the small negative run could be stopped again with a 3-0 win against the table closing light SKN St. Pölten.
The success is also aroused by the desires of other teams and associations, such as coach Franco Foda. Finally, he was linked to the position of the national trainer of Austria, but the 51-year-old German said: “I have never given anything to rumors. I am a trainer from Sturm Graz, I have an ongoing contract. It shows that you are doing good work at Sturm Graz – and this for years. That makes you a bit proud, not a question. “There will be no more unrest in these rumors anyway, as the ÖFB always emphasized that an Austrian solution would be preferable in any case.
Austria Vienna:

In this, Marco Livaja, with the goal to the 2-2 final, destroyed the big surprise, but the point can certainly be booked as a success. Also the point gain in the game before against Ligakrösus Red Bull Salzburg is to be evaluated as such. In the last game could be scored again, because the Austria defeated Altach with 2-0.
Motivated by the latest results, leftist Christoph Martschinko told the match in Graz: “I believe that for us in Graz it is possible to win. Sturm are strong at home, it is difficult to put them under pressure. “The fact that the Austrians are able to cope with heavy away games, they proved above all in the last games at AEK Athens and Red Bull Salzburg. The Viennese have now undefeated eight games in a foreign country.
