In this UEFA Europa League clash the English Premier League meets the Austrian Bundesliga. Bournemouth take on Sturm Graz in front of a home crowd, where the men currently coached by a German will be looking not only for a win but for a rare clean sheet. The visitors will be looking to improve on a weak opening-round effort against Rennes.
In the English Premier League, the Cherries have found clean sheets very tough to come by, but this is a fantastic opportunity for Marco Rose's men to tighten up at the back. They have the quality to overcome a Sturm Graz side that struggled at home to Rennes during the first round of UEL fixtures, and given that the visitors struggled to create in their opening League Phase game, they've also got a slightly stronger chance of keeping a clean sheet than the early odds suggest.

Our Bournemouth vs Sturm Graz Prediction
Despite playing on home soil against Rennes during the first round of UEFA Europa League games, the Sturm Graz boys struggled offensively. They looked a little out of ideas, posting a rather disappointing 0.73 expected goals, while they gave an awful lot more away. Such an effort points towards them not only losing againts EPL opposition, but it also suggests that they'll struggle to create in doing so.
If the Cherries wanted an opportunity to keep a clean sheet, then they've got one.
Our Bournemouth vs Sturm Graz Pick: Bournemouth Win to Nil.
