SK Sturm Graz - the trophy as a chance for the title
For the traditional club from the Styrian capital, the cup competition is probably the only realistic way to win a title. Because in the Bundesliga, RB Salzburg, which is soaked in millions, wins the championship in passing year after year - in the cup you could bow the otherwise untouchable Salzburg on a good day. Sturm Graz proved that this is possible in 2018, when Salzburg sensationally fell in the final and thus secured the fifth cup triumph.

Can the ATSV Stadl-Paura deliver a sensation?
The club from Upper Austria has been through turbulent times in recent years. The small club from the 5,000-inhabitant community attracted attention again and again with negative headlines. In 2019, nine players sued the club for unpaid salaries. The focus was always on club boss Stöttinger, who, despite the existing headwind, still has the say in the club.

Stadl-Paura victim of betting fraud?
It got a lot thicker. The public prosecutor's office has been investigating ex-players and club officials since the beginning of the year. Several games are said to have been manipulated. So also the last game in the ÖFB-Cup, when they went down against Austria Klagenfurt with 1: 7. In any case, the suspicion of serious fraud, money laundering and counterfeiting is checked. Quite a lot of wood for a third division village club.

How was it sporty?
Since the 2015/16 season they have been part of the Regionalliga Mitte. This corresponds to the third level in Austrian football. The goal was actually promotion to the second Bundesliga - due to a lack of financial resources, successful coach Christian Mayrleb left the club.

After that, it went a bit downhill in terms of sport. The seasons 2019/20 and 2020/21, which were canceled due to Corona, ended in 15th and 13th place. So far, they have competed seven times in the cup competition. The greatest success was reaching the second round in 2018/19 - against the top club Linzer Athletik Sportklub, however, it was a hefty 0: 8 bankruptcy.

Our prediction for the game
SK Sturm Graz competes in the ÖFB Cup to win it. The Blackies know very well that this competition has the greatest chance of winning a title. Against the ATSV Stadl-Paura they are of course a big favorite. The Upper Austrians have not played a competitive game since October last year and are blatant outsiders. Our tip: Sturm Graz wins to zero
