Salzburg perform at a high level so far being 2nd in the table. Sturm Graz can look both up and down from their 5th position.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Austrian Cup. Thankfully the previous game, versus LASK Linz, was also a home game here at Red Bull Arena. The away team is better rested.
Salzburg is in the 2nd league table position and will remain there regardless of what happens for the rest of the season. Sturm Graz is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
