Sturm Graz vs Sporting Lisbon Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Nella Wagah | in Champions League Predictions
The Venue 28 Black Arena in Klagenfurt will play host to the UEFA Champions League clash pitting Sturm Graz against Sporting Lisbon. For hosts, The Blackies, it hasn’t been a great run in this competition so far. The visiting Leões will hope to take advantage of Sturm Graz’s early struggles when they meet on Tuesday in Match Day 3 action. Let’s have a look at the stats and our prediction for the match.
Sturm Graz booked their return to the Champions League after 24 years courtesy of a shock league win. It hasn’t been a smooth return, their struggles in Europe continuing with two straight losses this term. There’s a need to improve here, to rise from 31st spot in the standings.
It seems though, that Sporting Lisbon will be the ones improving on their placing, after bagging four points from two matches. Sporting also won the two meetings between these sides in the Europa League last season.

Sturm Graz - Sporting Lisbon: Form Analysis
Sturm Graz have suffered back-to-back defeats in their first two Champions League matches. Those results leave the team sitting dangerously low in the league standings.
However, backed by two straight wins in the Austrian Bundesliga, the hosts will be confident of getting it right at home. They beat Grazer AK 5-2 in their weekend assignment, for their third win in four matches.
The only defeat in that run was at home to Club Brugge on Match Day 2. Sporting will be a tougher opponent and Sturm Graz must be at their best to avoid another loss.
Failing to score in only two of their seven matches so far makes for a good run in attack and Sturm Graz will hope to make it count.
Sporting Lisbon has the head-to-head advantage in this fixture.
Sporting Lisbon, like their hosts, come into this game leading in their domestic league. They have eight wins in eight league games and are unbeaten in their last 11 matches.
A 2-1 win against Portimonense on Friday marked a 10th win in 11 matches for Sporting. The only time they failed to win in that run was against PSV in a 1-1 draw on Match Day 2.
They will be gunning for a return to winning ways on Tuesday. Even though Sporting’s record in Austria isn’t the best, they won the last time they visited. That was in the away leg of their match against Sturm Graz in the Europa League.

Sturm Graz & Sporting Lisbon Squad Analysis
Sturm Graz have a tough assignment here and will hope Mika Biereth carries his impressive scoring form to the game. The Danish forward has already scored eight league goals and one in the domestic cup this season.
He is yet to score in Europe and with the weight of expectation he’ll want to do better on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Sturm Graz will be without Jon Gorenc-Stankovic, Gregory Wuthrich and Alex Borkovic, who are all nursing injuries.
Defensively, Sporting Lisbon have been hit hard with injuries.
Sporting Lisbon are going to field a strong side here after manager Ruben Amorim rotated his team for the weekend match. A number of top players were rested in planning for this match.
Those included their leading scorer, Viktor Gyokeres, goalkeeper Franco Israel, Hidemasa Morita and Geny Catamo. There will be more options in defence with the return of Jeremiah St Juste.
However, Goncalo Inacio, Ousmane Diomande and Matheus Reis are all out with injury.
