1776

On Sunday afternoon, Austria Wien and Sturm Graz clash at the Generali Arena in their opening match of the 2022/23 Austrian Bundesliga season.

Austria Wien

The team from the Austrian capital finished fourth place in the Bundesliga table last season.

However, they will be looking for a stronger campaign in season 2022/23.

Their form towards the end of the league campaign was inconsistent, although they did lose just once in their final six league matches of the season.

Austria Wien has enjoyed a decent pre-season as a 1-0 win over Bosnian team Borac Banja Luka on Thursday night in the Europa Conference League means that they are unbeaten in seven matches, having recorded five wins and two draws in the stellar run.

Their recent games have been relatively low-scoring in pre-season, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four outings.

Strum Graz

The visitors enjoyed a strong Bundesliga campaign last season, as they finished second place in the table, seven points adrift of champions RB Salzburg.

Considering Salzburg’s recent domination of the Austrian top flight, it has to be regarded as a successful season. Two defeats in their final three league games of last season saw the campaign slightly fizzle out.

Like their hosts, Sturm Graz has enjoyed a strong pre-season campaign, winning eight of their last nine games.

A 3-0 defeat at Strasbourg in their previous game ended an eight-match unbeaten run in pre-season for the visitors.

Their eye for goal has been a major positive for Sturm Graz in recent weeks, as they have scored at least twice in all eight of those pre-season fixtures, a run ending in the Strasbourg loss.
