SV Ried (home)
- Both teams have had slow starts to the Bundesliga season, with the SV Ried vs Grazer AK 1902 preview showing Ried 9th and GAK 12th in the table (after 7 games).
- With the hosts coming into the game on the back of 3 consecutive defeats and just 2 wins from their last 5 matches, a positive result is essential for their consolidation, while GAK will be looking to bounce back from the latest setback.
- Maximilian Senft has moulded a pragmatic, counter-attacking side at Ried, who typically start in a 4-2-3-1 formation and look to dominate the ball, press when disciplined in a mid-block, and then transition quickly when they win it back.
Grazer AK 1902 (away)
- Grazer AK 1902 also sets up in a 4-3-3 system, albeit a much more fluid one than Ried.
- Ferdinand Feldhofer has instilled an aggressive pressing style to the side, but they also play with a high tempo when in possession, looking to get wide in numbers and play with pace through the thirds.
