Slovan Bratislava vs Sturm Graz Prediction & Betting Tips (22 February)

Slovan's main mission in the first leg was to return with a maintained score and which allowed them to believe in qualification for the return home. Conclusion, the Slovaks took session 4-1 and will have to reverse the trend but it promises to be extremely difficult. It must be said, this Slovan team is not considered a direct candidate in this competition but can allow itself some surprises, particularly in this type of double opposition which seems "open". Leader of the Slovak championship two days before the end of the regular playoffs in the process with its 12 points ahead of its runner-up, Zilina, Slovan pays somewhat for the lack of competition in the country when it is necessary to perform in Europe.

Last weekend, he did the job quite easily against the red lantern, Moravce-Vrable 4-1. As a result, a drastic change of speech for the current second in the Austrian D1, Sturm Graz who destroyed the Slovan won the first leg at home 4-1 and subsequently recorded a 6th match without defeat in all competitions in the league against SK Rapid 1-1. To stay in the championship, the visitors are engaged in a mano a mano with RB Salzburg in the race for the title and are now two points behind following their poor performance last weekend, 3 successive draws in the championship.

Excluded from the first leg off the bench, Vladimir Weiss (only 7 appearances this season in the league) will logically be absent from the scoresheet this evening. Same observation concerning the injured, Krizan (absent for weeks), the thirty-year-old, Risvanis (hit in the cheekbone) or the starting goalkeeper, Borjan who was to return from suspension (served on the first leg) but seems injured (to be continued) . The holder, Wimmer, will return from suspension (accumulation of yellow cards). In order to believe in the feat, Slovan will count on Barseghyan (8 goals, 9 assists in the league), Strelec (8 goals, 8 goals) or even on Marcelli (6 goals, scorer in the league last weekend) . On the other side of the median, the starting goalkeeper, Scherpen is also injured like his counterpart opposite and will probably be kept by the trainers this evening.

He is not the only one to squat in the infirmary since the young talent Jatta (2 goals in 6 games in the league) is also on the flank. For the rest, the group will probably be complete with in particular the 4 scorers of the first leg, Biereth (1 goal in 1 match in this C4), Stankovic (1 goal in the championship), the important Kiteishvili (4 goals, 3 offerings in championship) and the young 18-year-old crack, Camara who crashed immediately after entering the game. Let's not forget to mention the presence of Horvat (5 goals in the elite) and the young Polish, Wlodarczyk (5 pions).
