The visiting Ried side should be favourites in this visit to Grazer AK, as the away team holds a 28 point advantage from their 20 league games this season.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Erste Liga. Thankfully the previous game, versus Austria Lustenau, was also a home game here at Solarstadion der Stadt Gleisdorf. The away team is better rested.
