Open poll and resultsBournemouth vs Sturm Graz prediction
Bournemouth had a European debut to remember beating Real Sociedad by two goals to one in Spain with goals from Justin Kluivert and Rayan. Despite heavy pressure from the hosts, Petrovic was outstanding in goal for the Cherries, who held on for three precious points. Now Marco Rose’s side look to make another lifelong memory for Bournemouth fans, this time at home.
Sturm Graz came away with a goalless draw at home to Rennes in their first league phase match and boast more European pedigree than Bournemouth. However, the finances of the Premier League means that the hosts have assembled a far stronger squad than the Austrians, who will be on the backfoot for most of this game. Despite the absence of key midfielder Alex Scott through injury, Bournemouth should still have enough to get the better of the visitors across 90 minutes.
