Sturm Graz chase the summit as WSG languish below
Sturm Graz travel to Innsbruck looking to solidify their title credentials against a WSG Wattens side struggling to climb out of the bottom half of the table.
WSG Wattens enter this clash in inconsistent form, having managed only one win in their last five outings. While they recently thrashed Wieselburg 6-0, they have suffered heavy defeats to Qarabag and Hertha BSC. Philipp Semlic’s side is currently languishing in the bottom half of the Bundesliga with 21 points and will be desperate to bounce back after a 2-0 defeat to Wolfsberger last time out.
Sturm Graz are in imperious form, arriving with five consecutive wins across all competitions. Christian Ilzer’s men sit near the top of the table with 31 points and recently secured a confident 2-0 victory over Rapid Vienna. Their momentum is further bolstered by back-to-back wins against Heart of Midlothian and a high-scoring 4-4 friendly draw with FC Copenhagen, showcasing a potent but occasionally open attacking style.
