Sturm Graz, Recent FormSturm Graz head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-1 away win against Wolfsberger AC in their last league encounter. They achieved 50% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Wolfsberger AC's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
With 12 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Christian Ilzer will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 6 goals in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 9 of their 10 games this season.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 11 games in a row.
With 6 league goals in 6 games at home in Merkur-Arena, Manprit Sarkaria will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
TSV Hartberg, Recent FormIn their last match TSV Hartberg enforced their superiority over WSG Tirol with a 3-0 home win. They came away from that fixture with a 57% share of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to WSG Tirol, who managed 6 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Markus Schopp will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 4 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, and they have had a recent run of 3 clean sheets overall.
Their form has to be regarded as good of late with 5 matches unbeaten from their last 6 and 3 wins bagged along the way.
Maximilian Entrup will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for TSV Hartberg.
