Contents
Both Teams To Score Prediction: Yes
It feels like this will be Slovan's last match in Europe for the current season as Sturm Graz scored four goals past their defense in the first match. We have seen bigger comebacks in the past but we doubt that Slovan Bratislava are good enough. With this said, we expect a more open match here as the hosts have nothing to lose. Both teams scored in the first leg and we expect the same here. Sturm Graz will probably not play with their absolute best squad here, so the hosts will have more chances to score.
Match Result Prediction: Draw
Slovan Bratislava have to win this game with either 3-0, 4-1, 5-2, and so on. They need to win with a three-goal margin or they will exit the competition. However, Sturm Graz are a far bigger side than them and their form is incredible right now. We do not think that the visitors will be playing at their absolute best here but they will not be easy to beat either. The draw sounds like a good option here although we generally would not recommend betting on this market after the first match. Looking for a winner in such a game is a suicide mission.
Correct Score Prediction: 1-1 Draw
Depending on how Sturm Graz approach this fixture, it could end with a higher scoreline like 2-2 or something different. However, we do not expect to see five goals like the first match. We have often seen teams play a slow, defensive, and possession-based game after getting a massive win in the first leg. On paper, when we compare the Slovan Bratislava vs Sturm Graz line ups, the visitors will always have the advantage. However, we are not yet sure if the away side will play with its normal 11 or make rotations to prevent injuries.
How Far Will Sturm Graz Fans Travel To Slovan Bratislava?
A fan can hardly hope for a closer location for a European away game. It is even pointless to spend money on a flight here as the distance between Graz and Bratislava is less than 270 kilometers. Fans can choose between train and bus rides too.
