Sturm Graz vs Celje Preview
Sturm Graz sit 19th in the Europa League standings, a position that hardly reflects their attacking pedigree in this competition. Having scored in 15 consecutive European fixtures, the Austrian side carry genuine threat at the Merkur Arena. Their recent domestic form has been patchy, with two defeats in their last five outings, yet a win and a draw in that sequence offer enough encouragement. This fixture represents a must-not-lose occasion if they harbour ambitions of progressing further.
Celje arrive in Graz enduring a torrid run, winless in their last five matches across all competitions, collecting just a single draw from that stretch. Rooted in 29th place in the league phase, the Slovenian side face an uphill battle to salvage their European campaign. Their route into this stage came via elimination from the Champions League play-offs, but that pedigree has not translated into consistent results. This first-ever competitive meeting between the two clubs offers Celje little comfort given their current trajectory.
Sturm Graz's remarkable run of scoring in 15 consecutive Europa League matches makes them a reliable attacking force at the Merkur Arena. Their recent domestic form shows inconsistency, with three defeats in the last five outings, yet home advantage could prove decisive against a Celje side languishing in 29th position. The home win price at 1.57 reflects that expectation.
Celje's campaign has been deeply troubled. One draw and four defeats from their last five fixtures paint a bleak picture, and their route into this stage through Champions League qualifying elimination suggests a side stretched beyond its depth. They have struggled to produce results on the road, making a victory here particularly unlikely at 5.50.
The double chance on a home win or draw offers the most sensible route into this fixture. Sturm Graz's scoring pedigree and territorial advantage at the Merkur Arena, combined with Celje's wretched away form, tilts the balance firmly. Backing the hosts not to lose, covered by the home price at 1.57, represents solid value. Questo articolo è a scopo informativo e non costituisce una raccomandazione di gioco.
