Grazer AK
With just one game remaining in the Austrian Bundesliga this season, there is still nothing to say who will be going down into the second division when the dust settles.
Just three points separate Tirol and Grazer from bottom-placed Klagenfurt, with the two sides set to do battle on the season closer on Friday evening.
Should Klagenfurt pick up a shock win against 2nd-placed (in the relegation rounds) Hartberg, they could leapfrog either side who falls to defeat in this one, so this could be a nervy and tight affair.
Predicted Starting Lineup: Stejskal; Jaunegg, David, Gugganig, Butler, Ustundag, Taferner, Muller, Skrbo, Jensen, Hinterseer
If it wasn't for a 93rd minute winner by Australian youngster Jed Drew, depriving Tirol of a point last time out against Hartberg, then they would already be safe on the final day.
However, they will still need a point to mathematically confirm it, just as their opposition will need to as well. As such, we can see this being a very close affair, with neither side at a need to take any particular risks.
Predicted Starting Line-up: Wiegele; Graf, Tikvic, Kreuzriegler, Fofana, Schriebl, Frieser, Italiano, Jano, Lichtenberger, Cipot
Grazer have done a phenomenal job to get themselves into their current position. A 73rd minute winner against Relegation Round leaders LASK, from Tio Cipot, managed to give Friday's away side enough of a lifeline to steal away from the business end of the table.
Their win, their first in 5 after a run of draws, was enough to put 3 massive points between them and the bottom of the table. It's unlikely that either side will take risks here, as a draw would be mutually beneficial to both, but Grazer would be our ordinary favourites in different circumstances.

With a draw deemed a very mutually beneficial outcome for both sides, we can see that the teams will most likely be level at the interval at least. That's why our tipsters have opted for a Half-Time - Draw market as today's best bet.
You can grab this at odds of 2.00 (Evens) over at Quinnbet, meaning your stake returns doubled for a winner!
Expect a slow game with neither side taking much of a risk. We expect this one to stay a stalemate throughout.
