Sturm Graz v Nottm Forest Match Preview

Sturm Graz v Nottingham Forest Betting Tips and Preview – Europa League | 06 Nov, 17:45

Venue: Merkur Arena
Competition: Europa League
Kick-Off: Thursday 6th November 2025, 17:45 (UK)


🔍 Match Preview

Austrian outfit Sturm Graz face a daunting test on Thursday evening as they welcome Nottingham Forest to the Merkur Arena in a crucial Europa League Group E clash.

The hosts have endured a difficult run of form, losing three of their last four matches in all competitions, including defeats to Celtic (1-2), Wolfsberger (0-2), and Rapid Vienna (0-3). Their only respite came via a narrow OFB Cup penalty shootout victory over lower-league Admira Wacker, underlining their recent struggles.

Manager Jürgen Säumel has seen his side slip defensively, and their lack of cutting edge in front of goal will be a major concern ahead of this European test. Despite holding home advantage, Sturm Graz will need a significant improvement to contain a Forest side beginning to find their feet under new management.

Nottingham Forest recently appointed Sean Dyche following the departure of Ange Postecoglou, and the experienced English manager has already brought signs of stability. Forest’s 2-0 home win over Porto on Matchday 3 has reignited their Europa League hopes after a mixed start to group play — drawing 2-2 with Real Betis and losing 3-2 to Midtjylland.

Domestically, results have been harder to come by — Forest have won just one of their last 13 games across all competitions (W1, D4, L8) — but Dyche’s structured approach and emphasis on defensive discipline may be exactly what they need to progress in Europe.

With key players like Morgan Gibbs-White rediscovering form and Igor Jesus adapting quickly up front, the visitors should have enough quality to edge this one against a struggling Sturm side.

Sturm Graz v Nottm Forest Prediction

Despite Nottingham Forest’s struggles in the Premier League, they’ve shown encouraging signs under Sean Dyche and appear better equipped for European football than their hosts. Sturm Graz are out of form and lack defensive stability, while Forest’s superior experience and attacking options should make the difference in Graz.

This is a must-win for both clubs, but Nottingham Forest have the upper hand in quality and tactical structure. Dyche’s men look primed to build on their win over Porto and take control, while Sturm Graz’s defensive issues may again prove costly.
