Sturm Graz vs Marseille is available to watch live in the United States. TV channel and live stream options are listed below.
Sturm Graz host Marseille at the Graz-Liebenau Stadium in Europa League action, with both clubs in desperate need of points from their continental campaigns.
Fabio Ingolitsch's side arrive on the back of a thumping 6-1 Bundesliga win over Grazer AK, a result that will have restored some confidence after a difficult run in Europe. That domestic form, though, has not translated to the continental stage, and Sturm go into this fixture knowing that a second Europa League defeat in succession would leave their campaign in serious trouble.
Marseille arrive carrying the wounds of a 1-0 Europa League loss to Olympiacos at the Stade Velodrome — a result that left Bruno Genesio's side without a point from their opening two European matches. The pressure on OM to perform on the road in Graz is considerable.
There are, at least, signs of life in Ligue 1. Marseille dismantled Angers 5-2 last weekend, with Amine Harit and Amine Gouiri among the scorers in an attacking display that showed what this side is capable of when firing. Whether they can replicate that form in Austria is the question Genesio must answer.
With Sturm sitting 26th and Marseille in 31st in the Europa League table, this is a meeting between two clubs who cannot afford another slip. Something has to give in Graz.
