Sturm Graz vs RB Leipzig Prediction and Betting Tips | January 29th 2025

Sturm Graz and RB Leipzig return to action in the UEFA Champions League when they square off at the Merkur Arena on Wednesday. Both sides have been disappointing in Europe this season and will aim to bow out of the competition on a high.

Sturm Graz were left empty-handed yet again in the UEFA Champions League as they suffered a 5-0 hammering at the hands of Atalanta last time out. The Austrian outfit have lost all but one of their seven matches in the competition, with a 1-0 victory over La Liga side Girona on November 21 being the exception.

Sturm Graz’s underwhelming campaign has been due to their struggles in attack, where they have netted just four goals so far while shipping 14 at the opposite end of the pitch.

Elsewhere, Leipzig turned in a resilient team display last Saturday when they fought back from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw against Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.

Before that, Marco Rose’s men snapped their run of six back-to-back defeats in the Champions League on January 22 courtesy of a 2-1 home victory over Sporting Lisbon.

Leipzig have managed just three points from a possible 21 in a hugely disappointing European campaign as they sit 30th in the standings, three points above Wednesday’s hosts.
