Brest vs Sturm Graz Predictions

• Sturm Graz have scored in nine of their last ten away matches
• Brest have scored in both of their home games this season
• Brest have conceded in three of their last four matches

Expect goals from both sides

Brest’s European debut against Sturm Graz may fly under the radar given some of the more high-profile ties in the opening week of the Champions League, but neutrals should expect plenty of action in France.

Sturm Garz have been in great form so far this season, winning five successive matches and scoring ten goals in the process. However, they have conceded in their last three assignments.

Brest, who finished third in last season’s Ligue 1 campaign, have only won one of their four league matches, but they have come up against PSG and Marseille in that time and still managed to find the net in both of them.

Brest to edge close contest

The hosts ply their trade in a league 11 places higher than the Austrian Bundesliga in the UEFA coefficient, and did beat St Etienne 4-0 at home, so they can take all three points here, although Sturm Graz are unlikely to make things easy for the Pirates.
