AFC Bournemouth host Sturm Graz at the Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth in the Europa League.
Marco Rose's side arrive at this fixture carrying the bruises of a demanding recent schedule. The Cherries suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League before the international break, a result that exposed defensive vulnerabilities against top-flight opposition.
Bournemouth have shown they can compete on the continental stage, though. Their 1-2 victory away at Real Sociedad in September demonstrated Rose's side are capable of producing results in European competition when the conditions suit them.
Sturm Graz arrive from Austria under the management of Fabio Ingolitsch. The visitors sit 17th in the Europa League standings, making this a fixture they will view as an opportunity to arrest their slide down the table.
Graz come into the match with some domestic momentum. A 0-2 win over Austria Wien in the Bundesliga on October 10 was their most recent outing, and they have won two of their last five games across all competitions.
Bournemouth sit 10th in the Europa League table, meaning a positive result here could push them into stronger contention for the knockout rounds. Both sides have reason to treat this as a fixture they cannot afford to let slip.
