RB Salzburg vs Sturm Graz 09.02.2024 Prediction: Austrian Bundesliga

Match Overview

RB Salzburg take on Sturm Graz in a match in the Austrian Bundesliga at the Red Bull Arena on Friday. The home team have a big advantage over their opponents, but one cannot quite rule Sturm Graz out even before they have stepped onto the pitch. The latter's defenders are known to do a good job especially away from home, and this will help them a lot.

Key Highlights 

At the time of writing, Salzburg are ranked right at the top of the league table with 39 points to their name whereas Sturm Graz are perched just one spot below them in the same standings with 37 points inside their kitty. If Graz win this game, they will be able to topple Salzburg and go on top of the table in their place instead. No wonder this game is so important.

Injury Report

Samson Baidoo, Nicolas Capaldo and Aleksa Terzic are among some of the players of Salzburg who are not available for selection. For Graz, Seedy Jetta is ruled out with an injury for this game.

Prediction

Ranked 1st in goals scored per match (2 goals), Salzburg have also kept the most clean sheets in the competition (10). Their star player Karim Konate is the competition's top scorer (8), and one expects him to do well in this crucial fixture as well. This will not be an easy game for either team. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game.
