Sturm Graz welcome Bodo Glimt with the near impossible task of having to overturn a 5-0 defeat from the first leg. Both of our selections landed in the first leg last week and I'm going for the clean sweep in this second leg.

• Bodo Glimt currently are top of the Eliteserien having won 13 of their 19 games

• Bodo Glimt reached the semi finals of the Europa League last season so could be primed for a Champions League campaign

• Sturm Graz were in the Champions League last season, but lost all of their away games in the league phase

🟡 Bodo Glimt have real momentum

Bodo Glimt have all but qualified for the Champions League and it’s no less than their performances in Europe over recent seasons deserves. They reached the semi finals of the Europa League last season only to be beaten by eventual winners Tottenham so they have already shown that they have the quality to offer real competition to some of the more established sides in Europe. 

Their first leg performance couldn’t have been any more perfect with five goals from their six shots on target in the game. They are unlikely to replicate the clinical nature of that performance here, and don’t need to either with such a comprehensive lead to defend.

⚫ Sturm Graz to offer more of a threat

Sturm Graz have made a steady start to their defence of the Austrian Bundesliga title with two wins from their opening three domestic games. Jurgen Saumel’s side edged out Salzburg, Austria Wien and Wolfsberger to the title last season and had a pretty strong home record across these games. 

They won 11 of their 16 home games last season, netting 43 goals across these fixtures and conceding just 18. This tie is likely to be beyond salvation for the home side now with such a heavy deficit to overturn from the first leg, but we can ascertain that this will be a more awkward assignment for Bodo Glimt who are unlikely to have everything their own way as they did in the first leg.
