Sturm Graz and Feyenoord will battle for three points in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.
The hosts come into the clash on the back of a goalless draw away to Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga over the weekend.
Feyenoord also settled for a share of the spoils in a league game against Fortuna Sittard. Inigo Cordoba put Sittard ahead with an early strike in the ninth minute. Javairo Dilrosun leveled matters seconds after the break for the hosts, but they could not push on for a winner in an eventual 1-1 draw.
The Rotterdam outfit will turn their attention to the continent, where qualification still hangs in the balance for all four teams in Group F.
The group is finely poised with all four teams level on five points from four matches. Feyenoord lead the way at the summit, while Sturm Graz sit in fourth spot. Midtjylland and Lazio complete the quartet in the group.
