4 Frequently Asked Questions

The hosts to draw or win

It is a surprise that the bookies have PSV as their favourites to win this game. But we think the match could go in favour of the hosts. Since losing the first Europa League fixture in Group B against Monaco, Sturm Graz has picked up momentum to win three times in a row and all with a clean sheet. They scored a total of 12 goals in the last three matches, which translates to an average of 4 goals per game. On the flipside, PSV hasn’t shown signs of improvement since drawing 2-2 with Real Sociedad in their first match. The visitors have since lost twice and won once but failed to keep a clean sheet in all the last three games.

Over 2.5

We expect a high scoring match when Strum Graz hosts PSV in the second Group B of Europa League fixtures between the two teams. The hosts have a remarkable improvement and should be merciless in scoring goals against struggling PSV.

Sturm Graz to open the scoring

We are tipping the hosts to open the scoring in this match. They have a strong defensive showing, having kept three consecutive clean sheet victories since losing their first Europa League game. On the other hand, PSV should struggle to prevent Sturm Graz from scoring given their weak defence.

Match Preview: Can Sturm Graz Bag the First Victory in Europa League Group Stages?

Our match preview below provides our readers with more insights into this game.

Sturm Graz

Sturm Graz lost 1-0 to AS Monaco in the first Group B fixture. But with home advantage, the hosts believe they can mount a strong challenge to bag some points in the second game. This will be the first encounters between Sturm Graz and PSV, which makes it a tense matchup. The hosts haven’t lost in the last six home matches and hope to extend it to seven. Hosting manager, Christian Ilzer averages an impressive 1.96 points in 51 games.

PSV

Kicking off the Europa League campaign with a 2-2 draw against Real Sociedad means PSV comes to this match with a two-goal deficit. The visitors have failed to register back to back victories in the last four matches. They come to this match with 1W, 1D and 2L in the last four matches, results largely attributed to defensive challenges. The visiting head coach, Roger Schmidt, averages 2.10 points in 61 matches.
