Sturm Graz vs Nottingham Forest Preview & Tips
Sturm Graz are looking to build on a solid start to their Europa League campaign at home, with the side beating Rangers 2-1 in their last home match.
Nottingham Forest edged to a 2-0 win over Porto in their last Europa League match as they put an end to a two-match winless run.
- The two clubs have seen both sides score in two of their three Europa League games this season
- Forest took a point from Real Betis in their only European away game this season
Head To Head
The two sides have met twice, with Forest winning once and the other game seeing Sturm Graz notch a win.
Sturm Graz Form
Sturm Graz have managed to secure three points from a possible nine at the start of the new Europa League season with the side struggling on the road.
Two away games have resulted in defeats to Midtjylland and Celtic, while their only home game saw them defeat Rangers 2-1. European away games can often prove to be a different beast compared to league games, especially when taking into account the quality of each opponent.
It will not be lost on Sturm Graz how important it is to win their latest match, with this stretching their winning run at home in the tournament to two games. It would also keep them in contention for one of the playoff spots.
However, with Forest also struggling to find top gear in Europe, I predict a stalemate in this one as the pair fail to take advantage of the woes of the other.
Nottingham Forest Form
Nottingham Forest arrive for their latest Europa League match with a single loss coming from their last three in all competitions.
Their 2-0 win over Porto in their last Europa League game was a timely return to winning ways, but it was immediately followed by a 2-0 loss to in-form Bournemouth. They then held Manchester United in an entertaining 2-2 draw at the weekend.
While Forest will hope to make it two consecutive wins in the Europa League, I worry for them on the road. Their only European win so far came at home, while they have lost their last two away games in the league. However, with two draws in their last four away from home in all competitions, I do back them to take a point as both sides fail to keep clean sheets.
Verdict
I am backing the pair to share the spoils as both goalkeepers are forced to pick the ball out of their own nets.
