This promises to be an action-packed encounter for Monaco at Stade Louis II. when the Europa League tournament arrives in town and Sturm Graz with it. Read all about the Group Stage match here!

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Tipico Bundesliga.

Sturm Graz have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Monaco form and stats

Three Ligue 1 home games done for Monaco, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Monaco, their manager N. Kovač and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The Monaco crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Olympique Marseille here at Stade Louis II. in a Ligue 1 match. Midfield player Aurélien Tchouaméni got a match rating of 7.4 in that game, the max score being 10. Tchouaméni hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 52 successful passes (of 54 total).

A strong away win before that one, visiting Troyes and winning 2-1.

There will be little rest for Monaco after this match as they are travelling to Nice for a Ligue 1 game in only three days.

Monaco have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.

Sturm Graz form and stats

Sturm Graz was sent out of Europa League in the 2nd qualifying round last season.

Sturm Graz are happy with their away performances in the Tipico Bundesliga so far, having secured two victories and one draw from their first three travels. Sturm Graz are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing.

The supporters enjoyed Sturm's previous game versus Austria Klagenfurt, a Tipico Bundesliga 2-1 win played at home. Gregory Wüthrich, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.05. Wüthrich scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 8 of 12 duels. Late drama in the previous game, when Gregory Wüthrich scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time to defeat Austria Klagenfurt.

That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Mura in the Europa League.

A quick return to home after this game, as Sturm are hosting Wattens in the Tipico Bundesliga only three days away.

Sturm are a potent attacking force on the road with their 8 goals in 3 league games. 3 goals have been conceded by Sturm Graz in these games.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
