Sturm Graz before the winter break: the way to the title as a winter king
The tension in the Austrian football league increases, while Sturm Graz is clearly on the way to take the break as a "winter king". With a comfortable lead of three points on Rapid Vienna and a superior goal difference, you are faced with a crucial phase. In the upcoming rounds, Sturm expect exciting games against Austria Klagenfurt and WSG Tirol, while Rapid will only compete in Innsbruck.
Sturm has not had to accept defeat in the last seven rounds, which further strengthens the ability to run and self -confidence of the team. After the departure of coach Chris Ilzer, some believe that this could benefit Rapid. Klagenfurt's trainer, Peter Pacult, referred to his own experience from the 1990s when a change of coach had an impact on team dynamics.
Focus on the coming game
The statistics could motivate Rapid before the duel in Innsbruck. Tyrol's trainer, Philipp Semlic, emphasizes that Rapid has rarely lost to his team. The last time Tyrol defeated Rapid was a while ago, and Semlic hopes to break this series soon.
A successful step for the future
The upcoming encounters will be decisive in order to be prepared for the second half of the season. Fans can look forward to exciting games, while the teams focus on the destinations for the rest of the year.
