Sturm Graz have journeyed here for an action-packed battle against the home team Rapid Vienna. Prepare for the game with this full Admiral Bundesliga preview!

There haven't been much to rest for the host team, as they played a Europa Conference League match only three days back. This match was also played here at Allianz Stadion. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Sturm Graz have had more rest.
