Brest vs Sturm Graz Tips & Predictions


It's a historic night for Brest as the French club play host to Austrian side Sturm Graz in the Champions League on Thursday night.

  • Head To Head
  • Brest Form
  • Sturm Graz Form
Brest are competing in the UEFA Champions League for the very first time, while Sturm Graz return to Europe's premier competition for the first time since the 2001/02 season.

  • Sturm Graz have scored in nine of their last 10 away games
  • Brest have seen 16 total goals across their four games this season
  • Brest have conceded in three of their four games this season
  • Sturm Graz have seen BTTS land in their last three games in all competitions
  • Sturm Graz have never won a competitive game in France

Head To Head


This will be the first competitive meeting between the teams.

Brest Form


After finishing third in Ligue 1 last season, Brest have earned the right to compete in the Champions League for the first time.

However, it hasn't been an ideal start to the domestic season. Brest have won just one game - a dominant 4-0 triumph over lowly St. Etienne.

Brest have lost their three other games 5-1 to Marseille, 2-0 against Lens and 3-1 to PSG. Tough fixtures for sure, but Brest won't want to taste defeat again after the success of last term.

Sturm Graz Form


By contrast, Sturm Graz have been on fire domestically lately, coming into this encounter having won their last five games in all competitions, scoring 10 goals in the process.

Sturm Graz pipped the likes of RB Salzburg and LASK to win the Austrian Bundesliga last season and they are top of the table after five games this term.

However, the Austrian champions have never won a game in France in their history and were knocked out of the Conference League by Lille last season.

Verdict

Brest haven't been firing to begin the season, but this is a good opportunity to start building momentum against a Sturm Graz side who have never won in France before.

Both teams to score is our best bet, with the goals flowing in both teams respective domestic games so far this season, while Brest should still have the edge at home.
