Command Analysis
Sturm Graz
AustriaCurrent form
For objective reasons, Sturm had no chance to seriously count on a place in the top eight, but at the same time, for a place in the top 24, with luck and without a large number of injuries, the Austrian champion could well set the task of fighting for the top 24. However, after the first round, the fans did not have much optimism left - the Blacks lost 1:2 to Brest at home in a match where they clearly counted on three points.
As a result, Sturm frankly failed in the league stage and lost their chances of a playoff spot before the final round. In seven matches, the blacks were able to prove themselves only once, in the fifth round, managing to beat Girona 1:0 at home. Thus, with three points, the Austrians currently occupy 33rd place in the table and are seven points behind 24th Stuttgart.
At the same time, Sturm is more than successful in the Austrian Bundesliga and has every chance to defend the championship title. At the moment, the blacks are leading the table with 36 points and are three points ahead of the second Austria, the main competitor in the person of Salzburg is 10 points behind and does not pose a threat yet, but there is still an impressive stretch of the tournament distance ahead.

RB Leipzig
GermanyCurrent form
Before the start of the league stage, Leipzig was among the contenders for a place in the top eight, but if they could not count on a ticket to the 1/8 finals, then the status obliged the Bulls to finish in the top 24 and get through to the playoffs. However, Marco Rose team started with a 1:2 defeat to Atletico away and this defeat marked the beginning of a disastrous series.
In six rounds of the Champions League, Leipzig did not earn a single point and prematurely lost their chances even to be in the top 24. Only in the last round, where nothing was decided, the Bulls beat Sporting 2:1 at home, earning their first points. Leipzig approaches the last round in 30th place in the table with three points, seven points behind 24th Stuttgart.
In the Bundesliga, Leipzig has not yet had much success and is not distinguished by stability. Based on the results of 19 rounds, the Bulls occupy fifth place in the table with 32 points, but at the same time, only due to additional indicators, they are behind the Champions League zone, the leader Bayern has already pulled ahead by 16 points. Having drawn 2:2 with Bayer in the last round, Leipzig extended the series without victories in the championship to three matches.

2.39Tip and bets
Leipzig no longer has tournament motivation, but it was not there in the last round and this did not prevent the Bulls from showing character and beating a motivated Sporting. Today, the visitors will probably also strive to take the maximum and finish the league stage with a victory - from the first minutes, the Bulls will clearly be aggressive in front. Sturm misses a lot and regularly in the Champions League, the hosts are significantly inferior in class, but at the same time, the lack of pressure for the result allows the Blacks to play openly - the match will certainly be bright and productive.
We believe that the match will be productive. Betting Tip - total over three goals . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.99
Bet on the outcome
Leipzig has a crucial and very tough match against Union in the Bundesliga ahead and rotation will definitely take place, but it is unlikely that the changes will be so large-scale as to seriously weaken the team. The Bulls have a very decent reserve and even taking into account possible changes, the visitors are the undisputed favorites. Leipzig will certainly take their three points, Sturm in its current state is hardly capable of a feat.
Bet - Leipzig win. This bet is offered for 1.89
Combined rate
Leipzig showed solid performance against Sporting in the last round and demonstrated that even without tournament motivation they are capable of fighting for points. Today the Bulls are the undisputed favorites and will certainly justify this status, Sturm has been frankly unimpressive lately. At the same time, Leipzig defense is a disaster and there will clearly be a rotation, the visitors will hardly be able to beat the Austrian champions without scoring on their field.
The bet is Leipzig win and both teams will score. This bet is offered for 3.35
