Where they stand in the league

In the Bundesliga table itself, Sturm Graz sit fourth with 11 points from seven games, while Ried are fifth on eight points from the same number of matches. That's a gap of just three points, so there isn't much separating them on paper right now.

Given the fixture is roughly a month away from this snapshot, both sides will have played several more league games by kickoff, so this table position is a starting point rather than a guarantee of where things stand come matchday.
