Sporting Lisbon and Sturm Graz will meet again in the UEFA Europa League 6th round at the Estádio José Alvalade Stadium, Lisboa Thursday, December 14, 2023. Live streaming information, how to watch, match previews and lineup predictions can be found in this article.
Sporting Lisbon, who have safely progressed to the next stage of the Europa League, will play Sturm Graz on Thursday. However, they are only in second place behind Atalanta BC. On the other hand, Sturm is still fighting for a place in the European Conference League, competing with Rakow Czestochowa.
Sturm Graz, who are currently in third place in the standings, are fighting to maintain their position and earn a place in the Europa Conference League. This Austrian team is expected to play with greater enthusiasm and determination than the hosts, Sporting Lisbon. This is mainly because they have more at stake in this match.
In previous meetings between the two teams, Sturm Graz received more yellow cards than Sporting Lisbon. Even though they were playing at home, this Austrian club received more penalties from the referee. On the other hand, Sporting Lisbon, who seems to be losing motivation, received only one yellow card in their last match.
However, in their last two matches, Sturm Graz received four yellow cards and one red card. This shows that they are playing with high intensity, which could mean they will receive more cards in future matches.
Sporting Lisbon itself has automatically advanced to the last 16 of the Champions League with a score of 8 points as runners-up. However, they can still become group D champions if they manage to win the duel against Sturm Graz with a wide score, and Atalanta hopes to lose to Rakow Czestochowa.
Considering that there is still a chance for both teams to increase their points tally for their respective goals, the final match in the 6th round of the Europa League is predicted to be fierce. The team from Portugal is considered to be better in terms of player quality and performance, but Sturm Graz comes with the capital of being unbeaten in the last 4 matches in the Austrian Bundesliga.
