Welcome to Extratips: Sturm Graz vs Nottingham Forest Preview & Predictions
Get ready for Europa League action as Sturm Graz host Nottingham Forest at the Merkur Arena on November 6, 2025, kicking off at 17:45 CET. Both clubs are hunting for a winning start in the League Phase, and the stakes are high.
Key Odds show Forest as favorites: Away win at 1.68, Draw at 4.00, and Home win at 5.11. For Both Teams to Score, 'Yes' is priced at 1.77, while Over 2.5 goals is offered at 1.92. This hints at attacking football and the expectation of goals from both sides.
Both teams start this Europa League group stage sitting on zero points, eager to claim their first. Looking back, they met only twice in European play: Sturm Graz won once and drew the other. Recent home and away records suggest inconsistency—Sturm Graz have mixed returns at home, while Forest's away form is solid but with some lapses.
Sturm Graz’s strengths come from midfield pressure and set pieces but injuries to Beganovic, Khudyakov, and Christensen weaken their depth. Forest miss defender Ola Aina and notably left out Omari Hutchinson from their squad, which may affect their flair up front.
Angles to watch: How will Forest fare without Hutchinson? Can Sturm Graz use home advantage to punish any Forest mistakes? Will defensive absences lead to both teams finding the net?
With both squads eager to set the pace in the group, a lively contest awaits. Expect fireworks, drama, and plenty of action.
