⭐ Editor's Pick
Several factors are shaping how this match is likely to play out: Tirol's defensive instability, combined with the visitors' strong run of six straight wins. Worth remembering too that Sturm, who dominated this fixture for years, somehow lost twice to one of the Bundesliga's main relegation candidates last season. Graz will want to put that right. Back a Sturm win.
