Sturm Graz have a home game against Rakow as they seek to keep alive hopes of progressing in the Europa League. These two occupy the bottom two slots in the group, Sturm Graz third and Rakow at the bottom. Sturm Graz have four points coming into this game, three more than Rakow’s tally. The Austrian side has one win in this pool and are currently in a Conference League play-off slot. As they wish to keep on competing in the Europa League, a win here will be important. Sturm Graz recovered from two straight losses to claim back-to-back defeats. They also kept clean sheets in the two matches, the most recent a 2-0 win over Austria Lustenau. In three of five matches coming inro this one, Sturm Graz have scored two or more goals. Six of their last 10 matches had over 2.5 goals.

Rakow Czestochowa come into this game unbeaten in the last two, but without a win in the last three. In their last outing, they needed an 88th minute penalty goal to draw 1-1 with Cracovia. That was the second time in three matches that Rakow Czestochowa conceded first. It is their will to fight back that could lift them in this game and perhaps the group. Rakow are going for their first win in this group and having one point, they don’t need any more motivation. Three of their last five away matches have had over 2.5 goals and the five games have had only two clean sheets.
