Jurgen Säumel's side sit three points behind leaders Red Bull Salzburg with a game in hand, yet recent domestic form has been worrying-two straight defeats to Wolfsberger (3-1) and Rapid Wien (2-1) despite leading at halftime in the latter. In Europe, Sturm Graz have collected just three points from their opening three matches, beating Rangers 2-1 at home but losing to Midtjylland (2-0) and Celtic (2-1).

SK Sturm Graz are one of the most well-known clubs from Austria. They have regularly played in the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League over the years. Die Schwoazn have won the Austrian Bundesliga just fives times though - in 1998, 1999, 2011, 2024 and 2025. They have also finished runners-up on eight occasions. Sturm Graz have won the ÖFB-Cup seven times and the Austrian Supercup on three occasions.

They're a very, very strong team individually - especially on the wings," left-back Emir Karic said of Rangers, who lost 1-0 at home to Genk on Matchday 1.
