On Thursday, during the afternoon for US bettors, there's UEFA Europa League action at one of the msot feisty stadiums in European soccer. It is of course Celtic Park, where Celtic and Sturm Graz will come together. Domestic wins are usually easy to come by for the hosts, but the men in green and white come into this continental affair off the back of a rare league defeat, losing by two goals to zero against Dundee FC on Sunday. Can Brendan Rogers men bounce back and refind the winning thread?
Beating Sturm Graz won't be easy. The Austrian visitors are far from a poor team, while they've shown that they can score goals in the Europa League so far this season. Moreover, they come into this game off the back of scoring four goals at the weekend, winning each of their last four in all competitions. In other words, it is Jürgen Säumel's men who have momentum behind them in the Scottish capital.

Our Celtic vs Sturm Graz Prediction
The early market may not be execting both teams to find the net at Celtic Park as much as it should. Let's face, neither team has defended so well of late, while both teams have also struggled defensively so far in this competition.
Their four combined UEL games have produced zero clean sheets, so both teams really should fancy themselves to find the net on Thursday evening, and I'm not quite sure that's being reflected accurately enough by the early odds.
