Welcome to the live broadcast of a fourth-round match in the UEFA Europa League group stage, where Austria's Sturm Graz hosts England's Nottingham Forest at their home ground in Graz.

Kick-off: November 6, 2025, 17:45 UTC (20:45 MSK) Stadium: Liebenauer Stadium, Graz Competition: UEFA Europa LeagueSturm Graz vs Nottingham Forest: Match Preview
Both teams approach this head-to-head meeting in less than ideal form. Sturm, the reigning Austrian champions, have suffered two consecutive defeats in the Bundesliga, dropping to fourth place. In the Europa League, the Austrians lost both of their away matches but managed to defeat Rangers 2-1 at home, extending their European home winning streak to four games. Nottingham Forest is also experiencing significant difficulties in the English Premier League, where the team has been winless in their last nine matches. In their most recent fixture, the 'Tricky Trees' let a lead slip against Manchester United, drawing 2-2. In Europe, Sean Dyche's side has also been inconsistent, earning 4 points from three matches. These teams have met only twice before, way back in the 1983/84 season, with Nottingham coming out on top (one win, one draw).
Team Form and Analysis
Sturm Graz
Jürgen Säumel's team is in a slump, having lost three of their last four matches in all competitions. The team's main problems lie in defense. However, Sturm is traditionally strong at home in European competitions. The attack is led by Otar Kiteishvili and Tomi Horvat, who have each scored three goals in the last 10 games. The Austrians have a significant absence: midfielder Tochi Chukwuani is suspended for the match.
Nottingham Forest
The 'Tricky Trees' are in a prolonged crisis, especially in away matches, where the team is yet to win this season. Forest's defense is also a major concern, having conceded at least two goals in five of their last six games. Adding to their on-field problems is an injury epidemic, with Chris Wood, Ola Aina, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Oleksandr Zinchenko all on the sidelines. Furthermore, striker Igor Jesus will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Official lineups will be confirmed one hour before kick-off.
- Sturm Graz (4-4-2): Christensen; Oermann, Aiwu, Lavalée, Karić; Gorenc Stanković, Rózga, Horvat, Kiteishvili; Grgić, Malone.
- Nottingham Forest (4-2-3-1): Sels; Savona, Milenković, Murillo, Williams; Douglas Luiz, Anderson; Ndoye, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Kalimuendo.
Match Prediction by tutsport.net
Although bookmakers consider Nottingham Forest the favorites, their terrible away form and personnel issues cast doubt on this status. Sturm is also not at their best, but their ability to perform at home in European competitions could be a decisive factor.
- Main Prediction: Draw. Both teams are not in their best form and have issues in both attack and defense. A draw seems the most likely outcome in this situation.
- Total Goals Prediction: Both teams to score. Sturm has scored in their last four games, while Nottingham concedes in almost every match. Given the unreliable defenses of both teams, an exchange of goals is highly likely.
