Tricky Trees Too Much for Sturm?

There’s a very real prospect that Nottingham Forest can have the edge over Sturm Graz and we’ll therefore select the former when it comes to Full-Time Result. The price of -152 looks impossible to ignore.

Sturm Bidding to Bounce Back After Loss

Sturm Graz were beaten last game and this was on their travels at Allianz Stadion. Rapid Vienna claimed a 2-1 Bundesliga win. Juergen Saeumel's team enjoyed 63% possession and had seven shots on target, while Maurice Malone scored the goal.

Nottingham Forest played Manchester United at home in their previous game. It was a 2-2 Premier League draw at City Ground. The Midlands outfit were restricted to 41% possession and recorded three shots on goal, with Morgan Gibbs-White and Nicolo Savona both on target.

In their last Europa League matches, Sturm were beaten 2-1 when visiting Celtic, while Forest won 2-0 at home to Porto.

Bookies Make Forest Most Likely Winners

The bookies have Nottingham Forest at -200 when it comes to Full-Time Result. This implies that the favourites are 67% likely to win this Europa League encounter according to the latest betting odds. Sturm Graz are the outsiders at +510 which suggests a lower likelihood of winning.

There’s the chance to wager Forest at -120 on the Asian Handicap -1 market. This means a refund if they only win by one, although a 2+ goal victory over Sturm would see a full payout.
