Sturm Graz
FenerbahceSturm Graz host Fenerbahce at the Merkur-Arena on 11 August in the Champions League - Qualification semi-finals. The sides meet again only days after Fenerbahce won their latest encounter 2-0 in Turkey. That result gives the visitors the more recent head-to-head momentum, while Sturm return home after a 2-0 Bundesliga win away to Hartberg.
Recent Form
Sturm's recent results span domestic league, cup and European competition. They have won six of their last ten matches, with the only defeat coming against Fenerbahce. The run includes two wins over Hearts in Champions League - Qualification, while the latest Bundesliga outing brought a 2-0 victory at Hartberg. Fenerbahce have lost only once in their last ten, with five wins and four draws. In Europe, they beat Gornik Zabrze 1-0 at home, drew 1-1 away and then defeated Sturm 2-0.
Players in Form
Jon Gorenc Stankovic and Albert Vallci have been among Sturm's stronger recent performers, with Luca Weinhandl also showing solid form in midfield. Fenerbahce's recent individual form has been led by Fred, while Talisca, Kerem Akturkoglu and Matteo Guendouzi have also stood out.
Head-to-Head
The available head-to-head record contains three meetings. Fenerbahce have won two, with one draw, while Sturm are still without a victory in that sample. The most recent game ended 2-0 to Fenerbahce, with Talisca and Mason Greenwood scoring. The two older Europa League meetings produced a 1-1 draw in Turkey and a 2-1 Fenerbahce win in Graz.
Match Outlook
Both sides arrive with several positive results. Sturm have built momentum across domestic and European fixtures, but Fenerbahce bring the advantage of the latest 2-0 win between the teams and a run with only one defeat in ten matches. The return to the Merkur-Arena changes the setting, although the recent head-to-head record remains in Fenerbahce's favour.
