Sturm vs Monaco: Austrians to put up a fight against Monegasques

Round 6 of the Europa League group stage will feature a match between Sturm and Monaco. Let's break down the teams' forms and see what's best to bet on. There are several options to consider!

Sturm form

Sturm, as expected, showed an awful performance in the group stage of the Europa League. On the other hand, it is incredibly difficult to prove oneself when there are such class opponents in the group. The Austrian club managed to earn only one point in five rounds - a draw with Real Sociedad (1-1). The team sits last in the Group B table, having no chance to play in spring.

Monaco form

Monaco has proved to do very well, with three wins and two draws in five games. With 11 points under their belt, the Monegasques are leading the Group B standings, three points ahead of second-placed PSV. However, Monaco has nothing to fear about – they have an advantage in head-to-head encounters over the Dutch club, so the first place and a pass to the 1/8 finals is already sealed.

Expert Betting Tips

Monaco is simply higher in class, everything is obvious here. But in the next round of Ligue 1, on December 12, the Monegasque team will face PSG themselves, so we are very likely to see the strongest rotation in this match. The Austrian club simply will not allow the disgrace of the second lineup of guests at home, so it is logical to play against the favorite in this match, betting on a double chance for the hosts.

Prediction: Sturm will not lose.
