Grazer AK hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 30 points and a 15th position in the Erste Liga table. Visiting Lafnitz holds 8th place with 38 pts.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
