We said: Sturm Graz 1-2 Slovan Bratislava

Slovan Bratislava are comfortable at the top of their domestic league, which means they can concentrate in Europe. The Sky Blues have also been decent on the road in Europe this season, with two victories in three away games. The hosts failed to win any of their home matches in the Europa league this season, and we expect this trend to continue on Thursday. Read more.
