Europa League Betting Preview: Sturm Graz vs Rangers

Austrian Bundesliga outfit Sturm Graz host Scottish Premiership team Rangers in this Europa League match at Merkur-Arena, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Thursday 2 October. Our betting preview features expert predictions, betting tips, the latest odds, H2H stats, team news and both predicted and confirmed lineups.

Sturm Worth Backing

We think Sturm Graz are a good bet at 0.0 on the Asian Handicap when they play Rangers. This selection makes appeal at odds of -156, with money back if the contest ends in a draw.

Each Team Bidding to Secure Another Win

Sturm Graz won their last game, beating Hartberg at home. It was a 1-0 Bundesliga victory at Merkur-Arena. The Blackies recorded four shots on target and boasted 66% possession, with a late own goal proving to be the difference in the end.

Rangers triumphed in their previous game. It was away from home in the Premiership where Livingston were beaten 2-1 at Almondvale Stadium. Russell Martin's team enjoyed 65% possession and had seven shots on goal, while James Tavernier and Max Aarons found the net.

When last playing in the Europa League, Sturm lost 2-0 when visiting FC Midtjylland, while Rangers lost 1-0 at home to Genk.

Sturm Graz vs Rangers Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

Tight Affair in the Eyes of the Bookies

Sturm Graz are the skinniest price to succeed in this Europa League clash, with the favourites afforded a 47% probability based on their +115 betting odds with the bookies. At +215, Rangers are regarded as having a lower probability of winning.

As the name suggests, the Half-Time Result market is settled at the break. Should you take this option, then you can choose between Sturm at +170, Rangers at +245 or the draw at +135.

You can find the shortest odds for Over 2.5 Goals, which means three goals or more being scored. The Yes pick in the Both Teams to Score market is considered to be the most likely result and it’s trading at -167.

It’s great that you can tap into hundreds of markets for every Europa League match. Each of our recommended football betting sites provide exciting pre-match and In-Play betting options.
