Sturm Graz welcome Nottingham Forest in a match that pits a side under sustained defensive pressure against one of the competition’s most creative attacking units. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With both teams looking to climb the standings after mixed starts to their group campaigns, this clash at Merkur Arena promises plenty of drama. Kick-off is set for Thursday, and Forest arrive with the statistical edge, but Graz’s resilience and set-piece threat could make things interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on Forest’s strong attacking metrics, control of possession, and the defensive frailties shown by both sides, our top betting recommendations focus on Forest to win and goals at both ends. We’re especially confident in Nottingham Forest to claim victory, given their far superior xG and shot accuracy figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nottingham Forest to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n7\/10 @ Bet365<\/a>
(58.8%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nForest dominate xG (6.2), shots, and pass accuracy and won their last game in the group, beating Porto 2-0. It was a big result for the English side and gave them a boost after failing to win either of their opening games in the competition. Graz have no clean sheets in group and have lost two of their three games, so far. Nottingham Forest have the superior talent in the ranks and we think this should be enough to see them over the line in this encounter.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams to Score: Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n3\/4 @ Bet365<\/a>
(57.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nDespite winning their last game, it was the first clean sheet that Nottingham Forest have kept in the competition. They conceded twice against Real Betis and three times against Midtjylland and their domestic form hasn’t been any better, conceding 19 goals in 10 Premier League games. Strum Graz haven’t been any better when it comes to conceding goals in the Europa League, also conceding five times in three games, although they have fared better in the Austrian Bundesliga, conceding 12 goals in 11 games. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
