- Sturm Graz’s clean-sheet habit
- The Austrians have seen six straight games where both teams have not scored, reflecting their defensive organisation and conservative approach in key fixtures.
- Rangers’ scoring nightmare
- The Scottish side have failed to find the net in four of their last six outings, highlighting their lack of sharpness in the final third.
- Cagey contests dominate
- Both teams have been involved in low-scoring matches recently, with Rangers scoring just two goals in six games and Sturm relying heavily on narrow margins.
Best Bet for Sturm Graz vs Rangers
Both Teams to Score – No | |
27/25 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Backing Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals makes sense here: Feyenoord’s lethal home attack and Villa’s improving strike force combine for a fixture where clean sheets are unlikely to survive.

The Merkur Arena is set for a tense evening as Sturm Graz and Rangers collide in the Europa League. Both teams are chasing their first points of the group stage, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Sturm Graz arrive in steady domestic form, riding the momentum of a narrow but valuable 1-0 victory over Hartberg, while Rangers travel to Austria with plenty of baggage. Yes, they scraped a late 2-1 win against Livingston, but their lack of ruthlessness up front is beginning to look like a serious problem.

For Sturm Graz, confidence stems from resilience. Their recent outings have been dominated by clean sheets and controlled defending, even if their own forwards haven’t been overly prolific. Rangers, in contrast, are fighting a crisis of identity. A team once feared for relentless pressure and aggressive attacking phases now look blunt, scoring just twice across their last six matches. Their supporters, notoriously demanding, will not tolerate another flat showing on European soil. This game feels less like a group stage clash and more like a test of character for both managers and players alike.
Best Bet for This Match
Here at BettingTips4You, we don’t flood you with countless predictions. We believe in clarity and accountability – one game, one tip, the strongest call we can make. For Sturm Graz vs Rangers, our Best Bet is Both Teams to Score – No.
Why Both Teams to Score – No Is the Right Choice
The case for a low-scoring, cagey affair is strong. Sturm Graz’s last six fixtures have all seen at least one side fail to score. They are structured and hard to break down, but also capable of producing frustratingly scrappy contests. Against Salzburg they showed ambition and attacking flair, but in Europe they often revert to caution. At home, they thrive on pressing late and capitalising on tired opposition legs, rather than trading blows in open battles.
Rangers’ situation only reinforces this angle. While James Tavernier and Max Aarons found the net at Livingston, that was more exception than rule. The Gers have blanked in four of their last six games and simply don’t look like a side that can force chances at will. Their forwards are short of confidence, and when chasing a match they often run out of ideas. Add the absence of key players like Lyall Cameron and Dujon Sterling, and Russell Martin’s attack looks even thinner.
Sturm Graz, meanwhile, will be missing several names themselves, yet their disciplined defensive block remains intact. The Austrian side thrive on compactness, and this match should see them sit in, frustrate, and try to pinch it with a single goal – much like they did against Hartberg.
