It can be strongly assumed that the home side can definitely win this game – even if they do the leading bookmakers don’t seem to want to know about it. According to them, the people of Graz are the clear favorites with odds of around 1.80!
But are they really? It may not come as a surprise to some, but after Red Bull Salzburg, SV Ried is the Bundesliga club that has scored the most first division points in front of its own fans (22)!
It’s unbelievable how much strength SV Ried draws from home advantage! On the other hand, they have only scored six points abroad so far – no first division team is worse! But at home, along with RBS, they are the only ones who are undefeated (6 wins, 4 draws).
Whatever home advantage and SV Ried are all about, betting enthusiasts need to take this trend seriously, because even Red Bull Salzburg couldn’t get past a 2-2 draw here!
However, Sturm Graz is a real feared opponent of the home side! After all, the Styrians were able to win each of the last six direct Bundesliga duels! But there is still reason for hope for all SVR fans!
Because the very last meeting between the two clubs in the round of 16 of this year’s ÖFB Cup went 2-1 to the Innviertler, who have meanwhile even been able to scurry through to the final of this competition!
