As part of the fourth round of the general stage of the Europa League, Sturm will host Celje. The hosts are in the playoff zone, and the guests are still among the outsiders. Which of the competitors will be able to score tournament points on November fifth? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Sturm Graz
Sturm has not played the best way in recent matches. In the championship, the team drew with Reed (2:2) and Wolfsberger (1:1), and also crashed out of the cup, losing to Austria Lustenau (2:3). But they managed to win their first victory in the Europa League, beating French Marseille (1-0). In the European Cup, they managed to rise to the playoff zone, and in the championship, the hosts dropped to fourth place. The failures are probably related to the epidemic of injuries. The main goalkeeper, Khudyakov, also took off.
NK Celje
Celje is still unable to achieve its first victory in the Europa League. The Slovenian club suffered defeats from Bayer Leverkusen (0:2) and Omonia (0:3) in the first two rounds. Only after that, they managed to score the first point, drawing on their own field with the Austrian Salzburg (2:2). The club takes only fifth place in the championship, but is only two points behind the top three winners. Recently, we managed to win a major victory over Nafta (4-0).
The hosts are considered clear favorites of the match, but recently the team from Graz has not looked so confident. Many of the main squad players have dropped out due to injuries and are unlikely to be able to be replaced equally. Celje will obviously be motivated after the misfires in the first two rounds, so we are not expecting an easy ride for the Austrian club here.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (+1) on Target for 1.95
