Fenerbahce vs Sturm Graz Tips & Live Streams – Both Sides to Score in the Champions League
Sturm Graz have proven their attacking prowess, scoring ten goals in just four matches this season. In contrast, Fenerbahce’s defense has been identified as their weakest link. With both teams bringing these trends into their upcoming clash in Istanbul, all evidence points towards an open, high-scoring game. The recommendation is to expect both sides to find the net in what promises to be an exciting contest.

Sturm Graz created 10 goal chances in their two games against Hearts in the previous round, so I like their chances of finding the net in Istanbul. BTTS is the best bet.

Two Previous Meetings
These two sides locked horns in the Europa League qualifiers in 2017.
Yellow Canaries Tagged Favorites
Fenerbahce failed to impress in the previous UCL qualifying round, eliminating Gornik Zabrze 2-1 on aggregate.
They secured minimal 1-0 advantage in the first tie at home with Talisca finding the net, then the same player broke the deadlock in Poland where the final score was 1-1.
The previous season was quite disappointing for the Yellow Canaries and they replaced Domenico Tedesco with new head manager Ismail Kartal.
Fenerbahce looked great in their pre-season friendlies, claiming three consecutive victories against Admira 5-0, Pogon Szczecin 4-0 and LASK Linz 2-1.
Sturm Punished Hearts Through Counter-Attacks
Sturm Graz opened the new campaign with a commanding 4-0 home victory against Hearts, then defeated the same opponent 2-0 in the reverse tie in Scotland.
The Blackies also had zero problems in late July against a lower-division side Seekirchen in the Austrian Cup, claiming another convincing 3-0 victory.
They opened the new Austrian Bundesliga campaign with a 1-1 road draw against Tirol last weekend which was unfortunate considering the stats (2.32-0.87 xG and 6-1 shots on target).
Team News & Predicted Lineups
Fenerbahce (4-2-3-1) Mert Gunok; Nelson Semedo, Milan Skriniar, Caglar Soyuncu, Jayden Oosterwolde; Fred, Matteo Guendouzi; Irfan Can Kahveci, Talisca, Kerem Akturkoglu; Mason Greenwood
Mason Greenwood is expected to start on Wednesday and lead the attack, while Talisca should move back slightly to offensive midfielder position.
Sturm Graz (4-3-1-2) Daniil Khudyakov; Mitchell, Emanuel Vallci, Paul Koller, Emirhan Soglo; Jon Gorenc Stankovic, Simon Seidl, Jurgen Heil; Otar Kiteishvili; Alieu Jatta, Szymon Wlodarczyk
Sturm Graz also have no reported injuries or suspensions for this clash. Leon Grgic and Filip Rozga are doubtful due to fitness problems.
Verdict
Sturm Graz carry high scoring potential. They netted ten goals in four competitive games this season, while Fenerbahce’s weakest link is defense. I am predicting both sides to score in Istanbul.
