Salzburg vs Sturm Graz Prediction 03.02.2023

• Competition: OFB Cup
• Date: 03.02.2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UTC / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Red Bull Arena (Salzburg)

The competition in the Austrian Bundesliga has not yet continued, but that is why the 1/4 finals of the cup competition will be played.

The leading team in the championship and certainly the best team in Austria in recent years, Salzburg will welcome Sturm from Graz.

Salzburg won the previous 3 friendly matches and showed that their form is rising. In addition to victories against solid rivals such as Sparta Prague, Karlsruher and Slovan Bratislava played 4-4 against Bayern Munich. This is a team that is going for both trophies in domestic competitions.

Sturm Graz played as many as 10 preparatory matches during the World Championship in Qatar. They lost only twice against Empoli and TSC Backa Topol and beat some very good teams such as Almeria, Vaduz, Domzale... However, they enter this match as underdogs.

Salzburg vs Sturm Graz pick: SALZBURG TO WIN

Considering the difference in quality, the odds that we can find on the victory of Salzburg from 1.70-1.75 are excellent. Salzburg is a team that will not lack motivation in this match. In the last 10 direct duels at this stadium, Sturm only failed to win 2 times and after a well-worked preparation period, the best players are expected to take their positions. Sturm will opt for a slightly more defensive formation here, but that will not help them not to concede 2 or maybe 3 goals. Salzburg to win is the best bet for this match.
