Sturm GrazNo absentees
Bournemouth opened in style with a 2-1 win at Real Sociedad, while Sturm Graz were held to a goalless draw by Rennes, and our Bournemouth vs Sturm Graz predictions and betting tips make the hosts strong favourites in the Europa League at the Vitality Stadium on Thursday, kick-off 8pm.
Our Bournemouth vs Sturm Graz predictions and betting tips are below, with Anthony Eadson’s best bets and score prediction.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs the hosts to stroll.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Francisco Evanilson to score anytime | 10/11 (Paddy Power) | Francisco Evanilson leads the Bournemouth line and should relish facing a Sturm Graz side that managed only a goalless draw with Rennes on matchday one. The Cherries opened with an excellent 2-1 win at Real Sociedad and are overwhelming favourites at home, where they will create a stream of chances against limited opposition. Evanilson is a sharp, mobile finisher who gets into the right areas and should profit from Bournemouth’s attacking dominance at the Vitality Stadium. At odds-against to score anytime, the Brazilian is the soundest pick on a night the hosts should take control. |
| Marcus Tavernier to be shown a card | 9/1 (bet365) | Marcus Tavernier has picked up three bookings in six Premier League appearances this season, including one in the 5-1 defeat at Chelsea at the weekend. He works hard out of possession, and that commitment often costs him a yellow card. Sturm Graz held Rennes to a 0-0 draw on matchday one, so they are likely to frustrate Bournemouth for long spells. bet365’s 9/1 is more than three times the next-best price, which makes Tavernier an eye-catching card angle. |
