Eindhoven’s European Quest: Unravelling the PSV-Sturm Graz Confrontation
Key Stats
– Sturm Graz remain unbeaten in top-flight action this season, with two wins and a draw.
– Szymon Wlodarczyk is Sturm Graz’s top scorer this season, with two goals.
Merely a week has passed since PSV Eindhoven spectacularly trounced Sturm Graz in a 4-1 home victory. Now, they aim to solidify their position as they confront the Austrian team for the second leg of their Champions League third-round qualifier on Tuesday. At the Philips Stadion, Peter Bosz’s squadron proved formidable, offering Sturm Graz a masterclass in football. As the dust settled from Isaac Babadi’s early 4-minute strike, the Austrians were left in disarray. Luuk de Jong’s double and Ibrahim Sangare’s headers placed PSV on the cusp of advancing to the next round.
For Sturm Graz, a gleam of consolation shone when Jon Gorenc Stankovic netted a goal, but a recent encounter with Austria Klagenfurt, ending in a draw, highlighted their defensive challenges. Although they maintain an impressive unbeaten streak in their league, their dreams of advancing in the Champions League now appear remote.

PSV’s journey under Bosz is commendable. Three victories across different tournaments set the stage for an electrifying season. They seamlessly overpowered Feyenoord and Sturm Graz, and their encounter with Utrecht was a breezy 2-0 triumph. As it stands, PSV boasts a 20-match unbeaten spree in competitions, signalling Bosz’s influential leadership.
Key Players to Watch:
Sturm Graz:
Despite facing suspension, left-back David Schnegg remains eligible for the upcoming game, ensuring a formidable defence. Midfielder Otar Kiteishvili‘s potential injury poses a concern, but the switch to left-back Amadou Dante hints at a tactical play. Attacker Szymon Wlodarczyk, with two goals this season, remains a crucial player, but Mohammed Fuseini and William Boving give him stiff competition.
PSV Eindhoven:
With Mauro Junior sidelined, PSV’s defence looks to players like Yorbe Vertessen and Ricardo Pepi. Guus Til might also get a nod due to the advantageous position PSV finds themselves in.
Predictions:
- Match Outcome: Given the past records, PSV’s form and the previous encounter’s result, a win for PSV Eindhoven seems most likely. Their 20-game unbeaten run and a resounding performance against Sturm Graz provide ample justification.
- Correct Score Prediction: Considering the previous leg’s score and both teams’ current forms, a 2-0 victory for PSV Eindhoven can be foreseen.
- Goalscorer Prediction: Szymon Wlodarczyk for Sturm Graz has netted twice this season, making him a potential scorer for the hosts. On the other side, Yorbe Vertessen of PSV, with a goal to his name this season, could make the difference.
