Sporting CP-Sturm Graz is a match valid for the sixth day of the Europa League group stages: tv, streaming and predictions
Watch out for the possible outside shot. Because Sturm Graz, which flies to Portugal to face Sporting CP already qualified for the next round (but behind Atalanta, so it will play the play-off), has only one result at its disposal if it wants, not to think, about the other match in the group: that of Gasperini’s team against Rakow.
The guests in fact are paired with 4 points in the standings but would now be in the Conference League thanks to direct clashes. This is not enough, of course, to be completely relaxed and since motivation could make the difference, we would not be completely surprised if, from this match, a resounding final 2 in the betting slip comes out. Of course, Sporting practically should not play, or think about the championship: and since the coach even a little turnover could do it, then eye yes, to a possible guest victory. In the first leg, Sporting won 2-1: another sign, this one, that a real feat would be needed for Sturm Graz. Which, however, as mentioned and for the reasons we have explained, could really fit. Unless, then, some good news comes for the host club: and that is a victory of Atalanta over Rakow.
The Prediction
A match of at least one goal per team: yes, despite the fact that Sporting has nothing more to ask of this round, a goal at home should still manage to do so. Match that, however, could see the victory of Sturm Graz, which seriously needs these points to hit, at least, qualification for the Conference League playoffs.
