Sturm Graz

WWLLDW

Sturm Graz will want to continue from where they left off last time out with a 1-2 Bundesliga victory vs FC Blau-Weiss Linz.

In that match, Sturm Graz managed 54% possession and 17 shots on goal with 4 on target. For Sturm Graz, the scorers were Mika Biereth (18') and Otar Kiteishvili (71'). Blau-Weiss Linz got 10 shots on goal with 3 on target. Thomas Goiginger (33') was the scorer for FC Blau-Weiss Linz.

It has not been often in recent times where Sturm Graz have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. In fact, Sturm Graz have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 11 goals on the way. That sort of pattern might not be continued into this next game, though.

Club Brugge

WWWLLD

In their previous game, Club Brugge drew 1-1 in the First Division A match with Charleroi.

In that game, Club Brugge had 51% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. The scorer for Club Brugge was Hans Vanaken (91'). Charleroi had 14 shots on goal with 5 on target. Parfait Guiagon (48') was the scorer for Charleroi.

Showing their fondness for eventful encounters, we’ve seen goals 20 times in the prior 6 matches in which Club Brugge have taken to the field, making it a mean average of 3.33 goals each meeting. Opposing teams have got 9 of those goals.

ℹ️ Team News: Sturm Graz

Gregory Wüthrich (Capsular injury), Jon Gorenc Stankovic (Forearm fracture) and Alexandar Borkovic (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing for Sturm Graz boss Christian Ilzer.

It looks as if die Schwoazn could employ a 4-3-3 system for the game, utilising Kjell Scherpen, Jusuf Gazibegovic, Niklas Geyrhofer, Emanuel Aiwu, Max Johnston, M. Junior Yalcouye, Otar Kiteishvili, Tomi Horvat, Mika Biereth, Seedy Jatta and William Boeving.

📰 Team News: Club Brugge

Owing to an otherwise full-strength group, there’s just the sole fitness problem for the Club Brugge boss Nicky Hayen to be concerned about. Bjorn Meijer (Knee surgery) misses out for this game.

There’s a good chance that Blauw-Zwart seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, choosing Simon Mignolet, Joaquin Seys, Joel Ordonez, Brandon Mechele, Maxim De Cuyper, Hugo Vetlesen, Raphael Onyedika, Andreas Skov Olsen, Hans Vanaken, Christos Tzolis and Gustaf Nilsson.

💡 Prediction

Looking at these two, we feel that Club Brugge and Sturm Graz should both get enough opportunities to score, although it’s hard to separate the two.

We’ll see, but this looks like it could end up all-square. We’re therefore expecting a very even match with a score draw at the end of the match.
