Sturm Graz vs Nottingham Forest Prediction and Betting Tips | November 6th 2025

Sturm Graz will invite Nottingham Forest to Liebenauer Stadium in the league phase of the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. Both teams have registered one win in three games thus far, and the hosts have suffered two defeats.

Graz have seen a drop in form recently, losing three of their last four games across all competitions. Notably, their only win in that period was registered on penalties in the Austrian Cup last month. They met Rapid Wien in the Austrian Bundesliga last week and suffered a 2-1 away loss.

Forest have recorded just one win across all competitions since August, with that triumph registered at home in the Europa League last month. They were in action against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League last week and were held to a 2-2 draw. Morgan Gibbs-White and Nicolò Savona scored in quick succession in the second half.

Sturm Graz vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

Die Schwoazn have lost three of their last four games, conceding eight goals, and will look to improve upon that record. Notably, their last home win was registered in the Europa League against Rangers last month. Including qualifiers, they are on a four-game winning streak at home in European competitions.

Tochi Chukwuani was sent off against Celtic and will serve a suspension here.

The Tricky Trees have lost five of their last seven games, which is a cause for concern. Nonetheless, they won their previous Europa League outing while keeping a clean sheet and will look to build on that form.

Olaoluwa Aina, Angus Gunn, Chris Wood, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Dilane Bakwa will miss this match due to injuries, while Igor Jesus will serve a suspension.

Sturm Graz have won just one of their eight meetings against English teams, failing to score in five. With that in mind, and considering their current goalscoring form, we back the visitors to eke out a narrow win.
