Preview for the Match Sturm Graz vs Red Star Belgrade

As we approach the final matchday of the UEFA Europa League group stages, Sturm Graz will host Red Star Belgrade in what promises to be a compelling encounter at the Merkur Arena on Thursday, 11th December 2025, at 18:45. Both teams find themselves in a precarious position within their group, with Red Star Belgrade sitting at 22nd in the table with seven points, while Sturm Graz lags behind at 28th with four points. The hosts, managed by Jürgen Säumel, have had a mixed bag of results in the competition, managing only one win, one draw, and three defeats, with a goal difference of 4:7.
