3rd fixture for Austria Bundesliga. Sturm stayed unbeaten again, after getting the point away to Wacker Tirol last week (0:0). Sturm had a bad first half as Wacker created a lot of chances to score, and generally was better, but at second half Sturm was really better, and had a shoot at the post during 75th minute. For Sturm, Sebastian Predl (defender) and Daniel Bahler (midfielder) are surely out for today as they miss out to international duty with Austria U20 team, while the recently signed striker Marko Stankovic is doubtful. The good news for Sturm are the return of their captain to the main squad, Zoimel. Sturm played a friendly game against Gratkorn at monday, where they won 3:2.

Newcomers to the league, LASK, is still unbeaten too at these two first games. They won against Austria Karnten at home (1:0), and drew away to Austria Wien (1:1) with a goal scored at 85' minute. Their main priority is to avoid relegation this season. To these first games it was clear that LASK problem will be speed this season, having enough veterans to the main eleven, with over 35 years old age (Baur, Panis, Myrleb, Vastic). Against Austria Wien, they were very lucky and created chances only by free kicks and some counters. If Sturm will play fast like they did during the second half away to Tirol, against this slow defensive line of LASK, i think that they will not have any big problems to beat them.
