Nottingham Forest visit Sturm Graz tonight. Get all the team news here…
Nottingham Forest are in Austria tonight to take on Sturm Graz in the Europa League.
New boss Sean Dyche has made a mixed start to life at the City Ground with a win, a defeat and a draw in his first three games. And he will have to perform a balancing act this evening as he attempts to guide Forest to a top-eight finish in the league phase of Europe’s second-tier competition while having one eye on the weekend clash with fellow strugglers Leeds.
Austrian champions Sturm have won one of their first two in this competition and will look for a victory to kickstart their campaign.
The home side are not in great form having failed to win any of their last four games in all competitions. They did edge past Admira Wacker in the Austrian Cup but required a penalty shoot-out to do so.
