Sturm Graz vs RB Leipzig Prediction & Betting Tips (29 January)

With 3 small points, the adventure of Sturm Graz, like his evening opponent, will end at the end of regulation time. It was somewhat obvious and predictable for the Austrians who are already happy to have offered an experience at the highest European level. Last week, they ate five on the lawn of the Atalanta 5-0. Faced with the French stables Brest 2-1 defeat, and Lille defeat 3-2, the Sturm could have thought of taking at least 2 points but this was not the case, while the reception of Bruges gave nothing satisfactory defeat 0 -1. It will be recalled that he also lost in Germany against Dortmund 1-0. The only victory will be written against the Catalans of Girona at home 1-0. Note that the Austrian championship is in full truce and will resume in early February, at the moment T, after 16 days, the locals are leaders with three lengths ahead of the dolphin, Austria Vienne and therefore in pole position to qualify for the dams summer of the next UEFA Champions League.

 Leipzig was clearly not garnished in this Champions League campaign by falling on the Reds of Liverpool defeat 0-1, Inter Milan defeat 1-0, Atlético Madrid 2-1 defeat, Juventus defeat 2- 3, or Aston Villa defeat 2-3. Finally, the RBL would have on paper winning its match on the lawn of Celtic Glasgow, but it is never easy to go and play in Scottish defeat 3-1. Last week, in front of their fans, the residents of the Red Bull Arena unlocked their counter by winning against Sporting by Viktor Gyökeres 2-1. A lot of home defeat to hope to finish in the top 24 anyway. We will now have to turn around in Bundesliga to get a qualification for the next edition and for the moment, being 5th, Leipzig is the stuffing turkey in the top 4 race. Last weekend, the Germans challenged Leverkusen in Championship, big poster in the country to follow.

Injured, boys like Borkovic (not registered for the competition), Kern, and Sarkaria will be absent for this last score under the skies of the big-eared cup. Remember that Gazibegovic is not eligible to compete in this competition. Georgian international Kiteishvili (6 goals, 3 assists in the league) remains the only one to have scored in this Champions League among the Austrians in the current squad. Current because the man with 2 achievements in the competition in addition to his status as top scorer in the championship Biereth (11 goals + 4 assists) signed for Monaco this winter. We obviously expected more from Boving (4 goals, 5 assists in the league) or even from Jatta (4 goals in the league), in vain.

At the RBL, the Frenchman Lukeba will not play due to an injury, nor will the essential Henrichs, the Austrian Schlager, or even the important Baku (not registered), the Portuguese striker Andre Silva and the unimportant Assan Ouedraogo, all on the flank as well. Injured for many weeks, striker Poulsen returned to the green rectangle and even distinguished himself in Champions last week by scoring off the bench. Leipzig's top scorer in C1 Sesko scored his 4th goal in the competition against Sporting. Author of 6 goals and 7 assists in the Bundesliga, Lois Openda will be at the disposal of his coach, as will Xavi Simons.
