One team's half. Possession: 66% to 34% to Bournemouth. Shots: 10 to 0. Corners: 1 to 1, the only balance here. Sturm Graz did not threaten the goal before the break, and the hosts lead by just one goal. The scoreline is more modest than the picture of the game.
A goal just before the break and the season's numbers. Evanilson scored in the 43rd minute, with Adam Smith providing the assist. The goal came late in the half, so Bournemouth went to the dressing room in front. The season's run, though, calls for a careful look: in 8 of Bournemouth's last 10 matches, both sides scored.

Bournemouth and Sturm Graz have never met before, either in the league or in cup competitions. For the hosts it will also be the first European match at their own stadium. There is no head-to-head history, so fans only have the recent form of both sides and the table to go on. Head coach Marco Rose admitted that the defeat in London was a strong warning for his team and that a reaction must come in the first European match in front of their own crowd.
The hosts go into the match after a heavy defeat. Bournemouth lost 1–5 at Stamford Bridge to Chelsea, who led 2–0 after three minutes. Evanilson scored the Cherries' only goal in the 51st minute. In the Premier League the team are 18th and have gone six league matches without a win. In the Europa League, though, they have maximum points from the first matchday. After the Chelsea game Rose said: "We want to show, and we must show, a reaction."
The visitors arrive after a 2–0 win over FK Austria Wien in Matchday 8 of the Bundesliga. Oumar Diakité scored both goals. First he headed in after an opponent's mistake in first-half stoppage time, and in the 55th minute he converted a penalty. In the Europa League table Sturm have 1 point after one match and are 20th. Head coach Fabio Ingolitsch said before that game that, despite many absences, his team would field a strong line-up and play uncompromisingly in the duels.
Bournemouth have been through a run of matches with goals at both ends: in 8 of their last 10 matches both teams scored. Among matches with a similar gap in team strength, played in all leagues, there have been 6290. The home side won 49% of them, 25% ended in a draw and the away side won 25%. At least 3 goals were scored in 52% of those matches. Both teams have had 5 days' rest since their previous match: Bournemouth played in the Premier League, Sturm in the Admiral Bundesliga.
Bournemouth are without the injured Julián Araujo, Alex Scott, Junior Kroupi and Justin Kluivert. Sturm also have squad problems. In their last away match they could not call on Soglo, Rózga, Mamageishvili and Weiper, among others, and Heil was suspended for a red card in the match against RB Salzburg. Ahead of this match the absentees are Niklas Geyrhofer and Szymon Wlodarczyk, who are suspended, and the injured Emran Soglo, Filip Rózga, Gizo Mamageishvili and Nelson Felix Patrick Weiper. Bournemouth are 12th, Sturm 20th.
