Preview
Sturm and Sporting CP face at Kunstrasenplatz Kapfenberg, in a match for this stage of the UEFA Champions League (League Stage). In the last 3 years these teams met twice: the earliest head‑to‑head was played on 14‑12‑2023 and ended in a (3‑0) win by Sporting CP, and the latest on 21‑09‑2023, which ended in a (1‑2) win by Sporting CP. Sturm registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Sturm

After 2 losses, the home team comes to this 3rd round in the 31th position, with no points won. In the previous round, they lost at home against Club Brugge by (0‑1), after they have lost in their first group stage by (2‑1) in an away match against Brest. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 37 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 33 goals scored and 25 conceded. In their last match, for the Bundesliga, they got a home win against Grazer AK by (5‑2). In the last 10 home matches Sturm has won 6, tied 1 and lost 3. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Sturm Graz comes into this clash after a 5-2 victory against GAK in the Bundesliga, with goals scored by Otar Kiteishvili (2), Mika Biereth, Seedy Jatta, and an own goal by Milos Jovicic. In their last match in this Champions League, the hosts lost to Club Brugge 0-1. The home team typically employs a 4-4-2 tactical system, focusing on an offensive style of play, particularly with attacks down the flanks. Seedy Jatta and Mika Biereth are the primary threats in the opposition's attack. The right side of the pitch is often exploited, taking advantage of the depth provided by full-back Jusuf Gazibegovic. Jon Gorenc Stankovic, Alexandar Borkovic, and Gregory Wüthrich are all out for this match due to injury problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Kjell Scherpen, Dimitri Lavalée, Emanuel Aiwu, Niklas Geyrhofer , Jusuf Gazibegovic, Malick Yalcouyé, Tochi Chukwuani, Tomi Horvat, William Bøving, Mika Biereth, Seedy Jatta.
Coach: J. Säumel.

Analysis Sporting CP

The away team comes to his 3rd round in the 12th position, with 4 points won, after 1 win and 1 draw. In their debut in this group stage they won at home against LOSC Lille by (2‑0). In the second round, they tied in an away match against PSV by (1‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss in away matches, with 37 goals scored and 11 conceded; against 12 wins and 3 draws at their stadium, with 40 goals scored and 10 conceded. In their last match, for the Taça de Portugal, they got an away win against Portimonense by (1‑2). In the last 10 away matches Sporting CP has won 7, tied 2 and lost 1. Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 3 of the last 10 matches, and their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 26 of the last 29 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 20 out of 29 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 14 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 13 of those 14 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 12 of them.

Sporting comes into this clash after a 1-2 victory away at Portimonense in the Portuguese Cup, with both goals scored by Conrad Harder. In their last Champions League match, the Lions drew 1-1 against PSV. Coach Rubén Amorim is expected to maintain his usual 3-4-3 tactical setup, focusing on exploiting counter-attacks. The attacking trio, consisting of Viktor Gyökeres, Francisco Trincão, and Conrad Harder, will be responsible for threatening the opposing defence. In midfield, Hidemasa Morita will play a crucial role in building offensive plays. Matheus Reis, Eduardo Quaresma, and Ousmane Diomande are all out for this match due to injury problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Franco Israel, Gonçalo Inácio, Maxi Araújo, Zeno Debast, Nuno Santos, Ricardo Esgaio , Geny Catamo, Morten Hjulmand , Daniel Bragança, Viktor Gyökeres, Francisco Trincão.
