Sturm Graz v Girona

Sturm Graz may be excelling in the Austrian Bundesliga, where they’ve accumulated 32 points from 14 matches, but their domestic dominance has not translated into success in Europe. Their Champions League campaign has been a struggle, with the Austrian side losing all four of their group-stage matches. On the other hand, Girona are enjoying a strong domestic season in Spain, sitting fifth in La Liga having won four of their last five matches across all competitions.

However, similar to Sturm Graz, Girona have struggled to replicate their domestic form in the Champions League, managing just three points from their four matches. With both teams underperforming in Europe, this clash represents an opportunity for redemption as they look to salvage some pride in the competition.

⭐ Sturm Graz v Girona Madrid Best Bets

Emanuel Aiwu stands out as Sturm Graz’s most prolific fouler this season, with 23 fouls in just 12.1 90-minute appearances. The defender has already committed eight fouls in the Champions League group stage, recording multiple fouls in three of his four appearances. Facing Girona’s fluid attack, Aiwu will likely find himself under pressure and could struggle to contain their movement without resorting to fouling. His track record suggests he’s a strong candidate to commit at least two fouls in this game, especially in a high-stakes, fast-paced encounter.

⚪ Otar Kiteishvili

Otar Kiteishvili has been a key figure in Sturm Graz’s attack, leading the team in attempts this season. The Georgian midfielder has been one of their most reliable performers in an otherwise disappointing Champions League campaign. Despite their struggles, Kiteishvili has managed a shot on target in two of his three Champions League appearances, averaging 0.8 shots on target per 90 minutes. Girona’s defence, which allows an average of 11.84 shots per game, could give Kiteishvili opportunities to test the keeper again.
