Sturm Graz vs Salzburg Prediction & Betting tips
After the historic victory of the championship table of RB Salzburg on the last day of the match, on Wednesday it will be another meeting with Sturm Graz in the cup final. The showdown will take place in Klagenfurt’s Wörthersee Stadium, where the Bulls could win the double for the fifth time in a row. Around 25,000 spectators are expected – 20,000 will probably be among the supporters of Sturm Graz. The team from Graz has the home advantage on their side!
After the 4: 1 victory in the league against storm and after the grandiose appearance in this year’s European League season takes RB Salzburg the clear role of favorites in this duel. The results from the last five direct duels speak clearly for the bulls. Only one of these five games was won by Sturm Graz, otherwise all matches went to Salzburg. Especially in the last three direct encounters Salzburg has always prevailed in a spectacular way. A 5-0 on Matchday 15 was followed by a 2-4 in the 24th round and a 4-1 win last weekend.
Sturm Graz:
Despite the last 4: 1 defeat against RB Salzburg Sturm Graz played a great season so far. With 63 points, Heiko Vogel’s team are in second place and with three laps to go, they are five points clear of their first rival, Rapid Wien. In addition to the runner-up title, the Grazer could also crown the Cup winner and thus since the 2009/10 season again for the first time to bring a title in Styria. All of Graz is eager to finally be able to cheer again!
From a personal point of view, Heiko Vogel has no problems to complain about. Only the young Nigerian striker Emeka Eze suffered a fibula fracture against Rapid Wien and is thus out of action for the last matches of the season. Otherwise, the coach can send his best formation on the field as well as in the direct duels at the weekend and the bulls do the double celebration.
Red Bull Salzburg:
As in previous seasons, Red Bull Salzburg is the measure of all things. In this season, however, the club put it on top and marched to the semi-finals of the Europa League, where the team had to cancel the stalemate in injury time against Marseille relatively unhappy. The team of coach Marco Rose, however, could digest this painful retirement quickly and fixed last Sunday against the upcoming final opponent Sturm Graz the victory of the championship. However, the celebration of the masterpiece won was modest, with one big goal in mind: the historic fifth double win in a row!
Like Sturm Graz, RB Salzburg can send their best formation to the field. Not a single player of the bulls has to pass due to injury. After Marco rose to ten positions last Sunday, compared to the Europa League game against Marseille, it is expected that in the Cup final, the tribe formation will start again from the start.
