After the October international break, the Austrians played five matches in the Bundesliga. They beat Grazer, LASK, and Rapid and also won the Austrian Cup against Linz.

Expert Betting Tips

We expect Borussia to win comfortably, but we're not sure the match will be particularly effective. The Germans need to keep up their reputation as the favorite, earn three points, and stay fresh for the next Bundesliga match. It's also crucial for Sturm to save face, which is what the Austrians did in the previous three matches in the Champions League. Recall that every single one of Sturm's 2024/25 Champions League matches never ended with the total over 2.5.
