Match Facts
This is the first ever meeting between Sturm Graz and Sporting CP – indeed, the Austrians have never faced a Portuguese side in a European match (including qualifiers).
Sporting CP are winless in all six away trips to Austria in major European competition (D2 L4), failing to score in their last four visits, including a 3-0 defeat to LASK in the UEFA Europa League in 2019-20.
Sturm Graz have played in the UEFA Europa League in four previous campaigns and been eliminated in the group stage each time. They have lost 15 of their 24 games in the competition (W4 D5), although they did win their opening game last season, beating FC Midtjylland 1-0.
Sporting CP last started a UEFA Europa League campaign at the group stage back in 2019-20, progressing to the last 32. They’ve won 10 of their last 14 group stage matches in the competition (D1 L3).
Sporting’s Paulinho has been involved in 10 goals in his last 15 UEFA Europa League appearances (8 goals, 2 assists), with a goal (first leg) and assist (second leg) across his last two games in the last 16 knockout phase against Arsenal.
