Grazer AK arrive in decent shape, having won three of their last five away from home, though a defensive fragility on the road is hard to ignore. They have kept a clean sheet in just 8% of away games this season, conceding an average of 1.7 per outing, which is well below the standard expected of a side pushing for respectability in the standings. SV Ried have been inconsistent at home but have shown enough in their wins to suggest they can hurt visiting sides.

The head-to-head record leans slightly in Grazer AK's favour, with Ried failing to win either of the last two meetings. That said, goals have not exactly flowed in this fixture.

Both sides sit below the league average for BTTS and Over 2.5 on their respective home and away records, which points to a tighter, lower-scoring affair than the Grazer AK defensive numbers alone might imply. This one looks closer than the league positions suggest.
