Fenerbahçe is expected to take control of the game from the opening whistle as it looks to build an advantage ahead of the return leg in Austria. However, Sturm Graz arrives in good form and has already demonstrated its attacking threat with an impressive scoring record in the previous round. Considering the superior quality of the Turkish side and the advantage of playing in front of a passionate home crowd, the hosts should have the upper hand. Nevertheless, both teams have the attacking quality to find the net.
