Feyenoord and Sturm Graz lock horns at the Stadion Feijenoord in Group F of the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.
The Eredivisie club will look to pick their first win of the campaign after their opening day loss against Lazio.

Feyenoord head into Thursday unbeaten in three home games this season, claiming one draw and two wins.
Meanwhile, Sturm maintained their fine run of results, claiming a 2-0 victory at Austria Klagenfurt in the Austrian Bundesliga last weekend. That followed a 1-0 victory over Midtjylland in their Europa League group opener in midweek.
Sturm are unbeaten in their last five games across competitions, claiming four wins and a draw since a 1-0 loss against LASK in August.
