SK Sturm Graz: Return to the Champions League against Club Bruges

On March 7, 2001, the SK Sturm Graz was most recently hosted in the Champions League when the later finalist Valencia was received. Almost 23 years later, a completely different opponent is on the program: the Belgian champion Club Bruges. This meeting, which will be held on Wednesday at 9 p.m., promises exciting moments. The match for the Grazer, who compete in front of a home crowd and do without some key players, will be particularly important.

One of the decisive figures that will not be on the pitch is the Belgian Dimitry Lavale, who can only watch from the stands due to a lock after a yellow-red card against Brest. In addition, the injured players Gregory Wüthrich and Jon Gorenc-Stankovic are missing. The lack of these players could influence the strategy of the Grazer because they are already filled with the defensive.

strong competition and tactical challenges

The opponent Club Bruges is anything but a light piece of cake. Lavalee itself describes it as a "interesting opponent" who has dominated in Belgium in recent years and has also been represented several times in the Champions League. Managing Director Sport Andi Schicker also sees the meeting positively, since Bruges is also a traditional club. Your playful line-up is usually based on the 4-2-3-1 system, which offers a balanced combination of experienced players and young talents.

In the previous year, Bruges was in the semi -finals of the Conference League and had even reached the round of 16 of the Champions League the season before. Her most recent game in this Champions League season, which ended with a 0: 3 defeat against Borussia Dortmund, shows that despite the experience at this level, they are not invulnerable. Nevertheless, Sturm Graz will be well advised not to underestimate them.

The support of the fans and traffic tips

A ray of hope for the Graz is the backing of their fans. The home advantage and the passionate support of the audience could be crucial. The Wörthersee-Arena is expected to be sold out, which will bring additional emotions into the game. Rim to the audience there are some indications of arrival: it is recommended to plan enough time because increased traffic is expected. The departure of the A2 at "Klagenfurt West" is called the best option for the journey, whereby parking spaces around Minimundus are available.
