Sturm Graz Preview – Can Sturm Graz avoid third loss on trot?
Sturm Graz find themselves bottom of Group B without a point to their name after the first two matchdays of this season’s Europa League campaign following defeats against Monaco and PSV in 1-0 and 4-1 losses respectively.
Although Sturm Graz beat Slovenian outfit Mura 5-1 on aggregate, winning both home and away legs to reach the group stage, the hosts have made a poor start to the group games and now face Spanish club Real Sociedad on Thursday night.
The bigger picture doesn’t look too promising either as the Austrian hosts have managed to win just four out of their last 20 Europa League ties overall.
Real Sociedad Preview – Can Real Sociedad take advantage?
Real Sociedad have drawn both of their games to date in Group B and have therefore earned two points from their opening two games thanks to draws with PSV and Monaco, drawing 2-2 and 1-1 respectively.
Despite not winning any of their previous seven Europa League ties, Real Sociedad have also only lost once during this period as the visitors have drawn six of these last seven games and have lost just one of their last eight games overall.
The Spanish visitors are also unbeaten in their last five away ties in this competition as well, so they look more likely to find a way to win here than their hosts.
