There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the SV Ried boss Maximilian Senft to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength group. Saliou Sané (Syndesmotic ligament tear) is out of contention.
We’re of the view that Sturm Graz II should get enough chances to find the net against this SV Ried lineup, although it isn’t expected to prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We’re going for a narrow 2-1 victory for SV Ried when all is said and done. It should be a decent one.
