In the Austrian city of Graz, on Thursday, there's UEFA Europa League action. Unfortunately, after not covering themselves in glory over the course of the first seven league-phase games, the hosts can no longer qualify for the knockouts rounds. Therefore, this is a meaningless game for the Austrians. In contrast, it is very much a game that the visitors want to get something from. The men who play their soccer in Norway can still qualify for the next stage of the competition, that's for sure.
Frankly, this is a massive opportunity for the Brann boys to secure a top-24 place and thus make the playoffs. If they simply avoid defeat in Austria, they'll be through, so surely it's all about going to Merkur-Arena and shutting up shop?

Our Sturm Graz vs SK Brann Prediction
Given the game state here, I am a little surprised to see that 'Under 2.5 Goals' is priced at +110. This game looks like a low-scorer in the making, or at least a relative lack of goals looks more likely than the early odds suggest. After all, the hosts have no reason to go for it and will likely be thinking about their next league game, while the visitors really won't want to do anything stupid, knowing that if they keep it tight, they're through.
Our Sturm Graz vs Brann Pick: Under 2.5 Goals.
