AFC Bournemouth host Sturm Graz in the continental Europa League, with the hosts having just lost 1-5 in the league while the visitors just won 2-0 in the league. The two teams therefore come in with clearly different moods. AFC Bournemouth's recent form is still not good, losing 2 in a row, and the defense has conceded a lot of goals throughout the recent stretch, but at home in the first half they still do well, leading at halftime in 4 of 7 matches. Meanwhile Sturm Graz have won 2 in a row, their attack scores consistently, but their away defense also concedes in the first half at an average roughly equal to what they score. If AFC Bournemouth get the first goal from an attack that holds slightly more possession at home, the game should open up and flow toward the hosts who keep pressing, because Sturm Graz will have to come out to equalize, which will open even more space for the hosts to attack into.
