On Sunday the 1st of August 2010 the newly promoted Club Wacker Innsbruck hosts SK Puntigamer Sturm Graz. Kickoff at the Tivoli-Neu is at 18:30 CET Referee will be Harald Lechner.
For Wacker Innsbruck it is the second game in the season because their second game against Red Bull Salzburg was canceled because of heavy rain. So Wacker plays also their second game in front of their own fans, a fact which could be a big advantage. Their opponent SK Puntigamer Sturm Graz played last Thursday in the UEFA Europe League a fact which could be an advantage as well. But after the 4:0 victory against Rapid Wien in the first round Wacker Innsbruck should have enough self confidence.
SK Puntigamer Sturm Graz had last Thursday their first game in the Europe League season 2010/11. They played their first leg at their own stadium against Dinamo Tiflis and could celebrate a 2:0 victory. Now they also want a victory against Wacker Innsbruck in the league, the team from coach Franco Foda has a lot of self confidence after the victory in the Europe League.
