Sturm Graz vs Nottingham Forest Predictions, Tips & Latest Odds
Sean Dyche's Nottingham Forest travel to Austria on Thursday night, looking to continue a mini-revival as they take on Sturm Graz in the Europa League.
Forest came from 1-0 down to lead 2-1 before being made to settle for a point against Manchester United on Saturday, and beat Porto in the last round of the Europa League to give Dyche encouragement after taking over from Ange Postecoglou.
They face a tricky test on the road next up, needing another positive result to keep them in the race for automatic qualification from the league phase.
We've picked out our top tips and free bets ahead of Thursday's game.
Sturm Graz vs Nottingham Forest Tips
Tip 1: Nottingham Forest to win and both teams to score – 12/5
It's not an easy game to call, with neither side in any particular form of note heading into it.
Forest have looked much-improved under Dyche, but they have still conceded four goals in their last two games and there are glaring weaknesses.
Added to that, they're on the road in a European game, so you would not expect them to just be able to turn up, turn it on and win, and they will have to scrap for it.
However Sturm Graz are without a win in four games themselves, and that includes a 2-1 defeat at a woefully out-of-form Celtic in the last European fixture week.
It might not be a classic between two struggling teams, but Forest should just edge it.
Tip 2: Nottingham Forest to win by one goal - 11/4
There is really not much to split these two teams.
On paper, you would back Forest to have enough to get past their opponents but the way things have played out this year, they are nothing on what they were last year and should be taken as the relegation-scrappers they have been before.
With that said, there is enough quality in the side and enough know-how with Dyche and his backroom staff to get a job done in Austria and we could see a fairly pragmatic performance if Forest take the lead.
Their defence isn't up to scratch yet so if they do score a goal or two, they are likely to concede chances and that way I can see it being a pretty close game.
Tip 3: Ryan Yates first booking – 11/1
Douglas Luiz was forced off early in the first half on Saturday, and his injury should mean a return to the starting lineup for Ryan Yates.
I'd consider Yates a classic Dyche central midfielder. He is industrious, and he likes a tackle and has a record of yellow cards.
He was booked 10 times last season, and has had 29 yellows overall in the past four campaigns combined, and I think with a bit more playing time to come, he could attract a bit more attention.
