Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Wednesday’s football game at Worthersee Stadion pits together Sturm Graz and Leipzig, the two teams that missed out on a spot in the Champions League knockout stages. Sturm Graz are eyeing their second win of the process and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach against Leipzig. Both Alexandar Borkovic and Martin Kern remain in the recovery room, while Manprit Sarkaria is a major doubt.
The Red Bulls, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Sporting CP. The Bundesliga outfit surely want to finish the process in style and given their signs of improvement, away win should be considered. Kevin Kampl is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a 2-2 draw with Bayer Leverkusen, while the likes of Schlager, Ouedraogo, Henrichs, and Andre Silva remain in the recovery room. A man to watch in the away team will be Slovenia striker Benjamin Sesko.
