Sturm Graz and Wolfsberger will battle for three points in an Austrian Bundesliga round seven fixture on Sunday. The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 2-1 defeat away to Brest in the UEFA Champions League on Thursday.
They went behind to Hugo Magnetti's strike midway through the first half while Edimilson Fernandes scored an unfortunate own goal in first-half injury time to draw the game level. Abdallah Sima scored the match-winner in the 56th minute and Graz ended the game with 10 men.
They will turn their attention back to the league scene where their last game saw them claim a 4-2 comeback home win before the international break.
Wolfsberger, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at home to Rapid Vienna last week. They were behind at the break courtesy of Nikolaus Wumrbrand's goal on the half-hour mark. Dejan Zukic drew the game level six minutes into the second half.
The stalemate left the Carinthia outfit in third spot in the table, having garnered 10 points from six games. Graz lead the way at the summit with 12 points to show for their efforts in five games.
