- Competition: Champions League
- Date: Wednesday, 27th November 2024
- Kickoff: 17:45 UK / 18:45 CET
- Venue: Wörthersee Stadion (Klagenfurt)
Sturm Graz and Girona didn't impress in the Champions League this season. The Austrian team is one of five teams without points after four rounds, while Girona have three more. The upcoming tie at Worthersee Stadion could be one of the last chances for both teams to remain within striking distance for the knockout phase.
Sturm Graz are struggling in the Champions League, but in the Austrian Bundesliga, they are impressive with five points more than the next on the table, SK Rapid. Sturm Graz improved in the last month, so their only defeat in the previous six games came in the Champions League tie against Borussia Dortmund. In the last league match, Sturm won 7-0 at home against Austria Klagenfurt. One of the best games in the season should give a lot of reasons for optimism ahead of the tie against Girona.
Girona started the 2024/25 slowly, but after a recent good run, they moved to the fifth position in the Spanish football league. Girona won four of the last five matches, including a 4-1 at home against Espanyol in the previous La Liga round. The home side finished the match with xG of 3.36, while guests had 0.42, so it is no wonder Girona secured another big victory.
Sturm Graz vs Girona pick: Over 2.5 goals
Sturm showed phenomenal form, scoring seven goals in the last Bundesliga round. On the other hand, there were three or more goals in four of the previous five Girona games. We should expect three or more goals in the upcoming Champions tie.
Sturm Graz team news
Sturm Graz doesn't have a big problem with missing players. Jon Gorenc Stankovic and Alexander Borkovic are injured and will not play on Tuesday. Striker Camara suffered from illness in the previous weeks and hasn't played since October. Camara could recover on time but is unlikely to start in the Champions League tie.
