Sturm Graz vs Girona Predictions

• Girona have won four of their last five games
• Sturm Graz have lost all of their four games in Europe this season
• The hosts have lost 10 of their last 11 games in this competition

Must-win clash for Girona

Girona have struggled with the extra workload the Champions League has provided this term, which has impacted their fortunes both domestically and in Europe.

The visitors have found their stride of late, winning four of their last five games. They need to carry that form into this trip to Austria, as they’ve picked up just three points across four games in Europe – putting them at risk of an early exit.

This is one of Girona’s easier fixtures, as they head to a Sturm Graz side who have lost all four of their matches in the Champions League so far. They’ve been beaten to nil in successive clashes with Dortmund, Sporting Lisbon, and Club Brugge, so Girona should sense an opportunity.

The hosts are flying high domestically, but they’ve suffered 10 defeats across their last 11 games in this competition. Sturm Graz were beaten 4-1 and 3-1 by PSV in last season’s qualifiers and given their start to the new-look Champions League, it’s worth backing against the Austrian side given Girona’s recent upturn in form.
