Date: 18 February 2023, Saturday
Kick-off at 16:00 UK / 17:00 CET
Venue: Stadion Hartberg, Hartberg.
Hartberg will host Sturm Graz at the Stadion Hartberg on Saturday for their upcoming league match.
Hartberg come into the match on the back of a 1-0 win over Ried. The win ended their six match winless run in the league.
As a result Markus Schopp’s team are currently 11th in the league with 14 points after 17 matches.
Their opponents, Sturm Graz also won their last league match 1-0 against Rapid Vienna. The win extends their unbeaten run to twelve matches in the league.
Christian Ilzer’s team are currently 2nd in the league with 36 points after 17 matches.
We are counting on Sturm Graz to pull off a win here. Sturm Graz have been in excellent form in recent times. They are currently unbeaten in twelve league matches. They have also won eight of those matches.
Hartberg, on the other hand, are currently struggling for form. They have won only once in their last seven league matches. They have also lost five of those matches.
We expect goals in this match. Hartberg have seen three or more goals in six of their past 10 league matches. Sturm Graz have also seen three or more goals in four of their past 10 league matches.
Also, seven of the last 11 matches between the two teams have produced three or more goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this weekend.
Sturm Graz have an excellent form going into the match. They are currently unbeaten in twelve league matches. Furthermore, Hartberg have had a poor form going into the match.
A -1.0 Asian handicap on Sturm Graz at 2.15 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
For the second tip, over 2.5 goals at 1.70 odds seems very promising. Considering both teams recent goal involvement in their matches and their past results.
