Sturm Graz Double Chance
Dinamo Kiev will play Sturm Graz in Lodz, Poland on Wednesday due to the war raging in their homeland and with home advantage lost, they could struggle to overcome their strong Austrian opponents. Graz produced a confidence-boosting result at the weekend when they beat current Austrian champions Salzburg 2-1 in the Bundesliga and with spirits in their camp high, they could avoid defeat on Wednesday against a Kiev side that has lost the vast majority of their foreign stars.
Both Teams to Score
Sturm Graz have played two Bundesliga fixtures already this season against Wolfsberger and Salzburg, and both contests saw action at both ends. Graz’s attacking philosophy can often produce open, exciting matches and having traded blows with their opponents in each of their last two assignments, a similar outcome looks possible when they head to Poland to take on Dinamo Kiev on Wednesday.

Sturm Graz Predicted Lineup
Sturm Graz could be without a couple of midfielders on Wednesday evening. Jakob Jantscher is in the treatment room with a foot injury, while Otar Kiteishvili is currently nursing a muscle complaint. Graz performed brilliantly against Salzburg at the weekend, so expect few changes to their XI against Dinamo Kiev.
