SK Sturm Graz vs RB Salzburg Match Preview 23 July 2021

Austrian Football Bundesliga is ready for the 2021/2022 season!

Tonight you have a chance to see the duel between the Austrian football clubs from Graz and Salzburg on the opening day of the Austrian top football league. Sturm Graz will be the hosting team for the defending champions Red Bull Salzburg, so this will be a great chance to start the season in a good manner for both teams at the Liebenauer Stadion.

Sturm Graz ended the previous season as a third-placed team in the Austrian Bundesliga, so they definitely have higher expectations for the upcoming season. In their last game, they showed a fantastic football performance at the OFB Cup by beating Stadl Paura with the result of 9:0. The Blackies managed to score 7 goals in the first half of the game and added 2 more in the second half. Manprit Sarkaria entered the game in the 27’ minutes of the game and managed to score a hat-trick as a substitute, rightfully placing him to be MVP of the match.

Their manager Christian Ilzer must use this great psychological advantage for his team to bring another great football performance tonight against the big rival Red Bull Salzburg.

RB Salzburg on the other hand after the great previous season, they are absolutely good to go for another successful season. At their last match from the OFB Cup, the champions beat WSC Wels with the result of 4:1 and reminded us that they are one great team ready for any football challenges. So tonight the young manager Matthias Jaissle must bring another solid formation and great approach against the Sturm Graz, and try to start the new season with a positive outcome. 

Unavailable players due to injuries for Sturm Graz are Sandro Ingolitsch (defender) and Vincent Trummer (defender),  and for RB Salzburg will be Albert Vallci (defender).

We are expecting a very interesting football duel with an attacking approach, with many goal opportunities and many balls in the back of the nets.
