In the first round, an absolute top game awaits in the upper playoff: Sturm Graz receives Rapid Vienna (from 5:00 p.m. in the LIVE ticker >>>).
Sturm Graz is second in the table – only three points behind leader Salzburg. Christian Ilzer’s eleven will therefore do their utmost not to make this gap bigger with a good start in the championship group – but at best to make it smaller.
Rapid, on the other hand, is in fourth place with 16 points, tied with their capital city rivals. With a victory over Sturm, the chances of third place, which is currently occupied by LASK with 19 points, would definitely increase.
Sturm won both matches this season by a narrow margin of 2:1 and 1:0. Will Hütteldorfer take revenge?
