Bournemouth Vs Sturm Graz Preview
Supporters will be hoping Bournemouth’s thrashing at Chelsea won’t affect them going into their historical European night at the Vitality Stadium. Thursday’s clash will be the first ever European home match for the Cherries and provides the perfect opportunity to banish the memory of the 5-1 Stamford Bridge loss.
As for Sturm Graz, they drew with Ligue 1 side Rennes on MD1 in the UEL. In the Austrian Bundesliga, the Blacks beat Austria Wien 2-0 away from home on the weekend. That result leaves Fabio Ingolitsch’s side fourth in the standings.
Bournemouth Vs Sturm Graz H2H Record
This will be the first ever H2H meeting between the sides. Bournemouth beat Real Sociedad on MD1 which was their maiden European win in their 127-year history. Therefore, playing an Austrian side will be brand new territory but the Cherries can take confidence from the fact it’s been 35 years since a club from the central European nation beat English opponents.

Alex Scott, Eli Junior Kroupi, Justin Kluivert, Julian Araujo, Veljko Milosavljevic and Amine Adli are all ruled out for Bournemouth. Midfielder Lewis Cook is pushing for a recall and Ben Gannon-Doak will contend with David Brooks for a place on the wing.
Meanwhile, Sturm Graz will be without Gizo Mamageishvili, Nelson Weiper, Otar Kiteishvili, Filip Rozga, Seedy Jatta and Emran Soglo. After his double on the weekend, Oumar Diakite should get the nod to start in attack.
