Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Worthersee Stadion will host Wednesday’s Champions League game between Sturm Graz and Girona, the two sides who meet for the first time in the elite competition. Sturm do not seem to be competitive at this level, losing each of their four group games and, as a result, they are seen as underdogs in this clash. Both Alexandar Borkovic and Jon Gorenc Stankovic are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Catalans, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence following a 4-1 win over Espanyol. As Girona are more of a team than Sturm Graz, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Michel’s troops. Defender Arnau Martinez serves a one-game ban, while all Artero, Herrera, Jastin, Misehouy, Portu, and Abel Ruiz miss out with injuries for the La Liga outfit.
Highlighted Player (Donny van de Beek):
Born in Nijkerkerveen, Netherlands on April 18, 1997, Donny van de Beek is a Dutch footballer who started his youth career at Veensche Boys.

Van de Beek’s main position is attacking midfield, but he is used as a central midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right and he has a contract with Ajax until June 30, 2022.
Dutch football experts often compare him with Davy Klaassen as he works very hard and play between the lines. Donny van de Beek scored 9 goals for the Amsterdammers in the 2018/2019 Eredivisie season, providing 10 assists for his teammates.
