In this week 3 match on the 6th of August, Ried will host Sturm Graz at Josko Arena in a Tipico Bundesliga match. In their last match, 8th placed Ried, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Austria Lustenau. Wiessmeier struck first for Ried in the 20th minute on a feed from Tin Plavotic, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Austria Lustenau was frustrated by Ried’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Ried ended the match with the shutout victory. Ried is looking for direction having 1 win and 1 losses in their last 10 matches, while sturm Graz is fresh off their 2-1 win against Salzburg. Rasmus Winther Hojlund scored the first goal for Sturm Graz in the 24th minute, then Hojlund added another in the 51st minute. Sturm Graz is looking for direction having 1 win and 0 losses in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Sturm Graz won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Sturm Graz is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Manprit Sarkaria and Rasmus Winther Hojlund each having 2 goals in their last 5. Seifedin Chabbi and Wiessmeier are the top scorers for Ried in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
