Sturm Graz vs Real Sociedad Predictions

• Real Sociedad are unbeaten in their last 10 games in all competitions.
• The hosts have an abysmal record on the European stage and have lost both of their games so far conceding five goals.
• No team has kept more clean sheets in La Liga than Real Sociedad.

Another rough night in Europe for Sturm Graz

Christian Ilzer’s men currently sit in the second spot in the Austrian Bundesliga, but they are some way off of leaders Salzburg, who they face this weekend. They’ve had yet another tough time of it so far on the European stage and to be truthful, they look to be the whipping boys of this competitive group.

The La Liga leaders travel to Austria hoping they can stretch their unbeaten run to 11 matches by claiming three points here. After drawing their first two games in this competition, they will now play Sturm Graz home and away in their next two Europa League games; providing a perfect opportunity to claim six points and take a step closer to qualification for the next stage.

Real Sociedad will be without key player Mikel Oyarzabal for this one but overall their injury problems are starting to ease and they should have the quality to get the job done here. Los Txuri-Urdin has so far taken draws from their opening games against Monaco and a tough away trip to free-scoring PSV Eindhoven.
We’re expecting Imanol Alguacil’s men to manage this game well and see out a professional win. They should be able to notch a couple here and limit the hosts to few chances.
