A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Liefering fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and Grazer AK's 15th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Liefering and Grazer AK should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
