Austrian club Sturm Graz have already been eliminated from the Champions League but could end their campaign on a high point with a second win in four matches. They’ve been a possession-based team this season, building up their play with short passes in 81% of their forward movements.
The home side have an xG of 5.82 from their encounters in the Champions League but have scored just three goals. However, they’ll look to be aggressive in their tackling once again, averaging 13.1 fouls per 90 in the competition.
Sturm Graz will have a fully fit squad to select from for their matchday eight showdown against Leipzig.
Sturm Graz predicted lineup (4-4-1-1): Scherpen, Malic, Aiwu, Wuthrich, Lavalee, Yalcouye, Chukwuani, Camara, Kiteishvili, Boving.
RB Leipzig are one of the shock departures in the Champions League’s opening round. The German side have endured a miserable run in the competition. They lost six of seven events before getting off the mark at the latest opportunity against Sporting Lisbon.
Xavi Simons’ return to the starting eleven had an immediate impact, while Benjamin Sesko and Loïs Openda have the quality to trouble the best teams in Europe. However, their win rate of just 20% in away matches would be a concern ahead of this showdown.
Leipzig have a respectable xG of 1.27 per game and have scored 34 goals this season. However, the German club have a couple of injury issues, with Andre Silva and Benjamin Henrichs both ruled out for Wednesday’s clash.
RB Leipzig predicted lineup (4-2-2-2): Vandevoordt, Geertruida, Orban, Bitshiabu, Raum, Seiwald, Haidara, Baumgartner, Simons, Sesko, Openda.
Bet hereIt’s been a forgettable 2024-25 Champions League campaign for RB Leipzig. But they looked nearly back to their best when claiming a controlled 2-1 win over Sporting Lisbon last week.
The hosts may not have enough quality in the final third to test the German side this week, as they’ve only netted four times. The chances of an away win when making a Sturm Graz vs RB Leipzig prediction are enhanced. This is due to the guests ending their Champions League group stage campaigns with a win in each of the last four seasons.
Sturm Graz have also lost seven of their previous nine against clubs from Germany.
A low-scoring affair could be an interesting football prediction this week. Leipzig have scored an average of 1.7 goals per match on the road and have failed to score in 10% of their encounters. Meanwhile, Sturm Graz have only netted three times in seven events with an xG average of 0.1 per game.
Loïs Openda could be the interesting football prediction on Wednesday. The striker has scored six goals in 17 Bundesliga appearances this season. He’s normalised an xG of 2.35 in the Champions League from 17 shots and an average of 2.4 shots per game.
