LASK vs Sturm Graz Prediction & Betting Tips (1 August)

Present in Europe a few years ago, this Lask team rather disappointed last year by not even managing to integrate the first part of its own championship. She was finally forced to play the relegation phase of which she took the 1st place quite easily. The club based in the city of Linz will of course want to do better this year. This summer, he won 2 successes against Trencin 7-1 and the Hajduk Split 2-1 but was also beaten by Brondby 0-1 and by the Union Berlin 0-2. Last week, Lask had no problem getting rid of Wiener in the Austrian Cup 0-4.

From its side, the Sturm Graz has just chained 2 consecutive champion titles. Last May, this team preceded its first pursuer by 2 small lengths, the RB Salzburg at the end of the championship phase. A success that contrasts with the difficulties encountered by the club in the Champions League which had only taken 30th place in the regular season. Invainu during its summer preparation 3 victories, 3 draws, the Sturm Graz had finished with a good victory obtained against Hamburg before offset Bischofshofen in the Cup last week. 

Decisive 13 times last year in Austrian Bundesliga, the formidable Entrup striker should extend his adventure with Lask one more year. Same observation for the former Rémois Berisha (3 goals, 4 assists) or for the former Stéphanois Pintor who however has above all a replacement status in this training. Conversely, the excellent Hungarian midfielder Robert Zulj (9 goals, 7 assists) took the direction of Buriram United this summer. Of his side, the Sturm Graz managed to keep its two major offensive assets of the past year.

It is the Georgian Kiteishvili (12 goals, 3 assists in the league) and the Danish Boving (11 goals, 5 assists). The Norwegian Jatta (5 goals), the promising Grgic (5 goals) and the formidable Slovak (4 goals and 8 assists) are also always part of this workforce which therefore ultimately changed little during the summer.
