REF’s picks

Olympique Marseille travel to Austria desperate for their first points in the league phase, and their attacking quality should ultimately prove decisive against a heavily depleted Sturm Graz side. Despite a turbulent start to the campaign, the French visitors possess the superior individual talent to break down a home defence missing several key components.

1. 1Marseille's superior squad depth and European pedigree give them the edge despite their sluggish start in the table.
2. 2Sturm Graz are severely hampered by a massive injury and eligibility crisis, particularly missing influential playmaker Otar Kiteishvili.
3. 3The visitors have shown defensive vulnerabilities on the road, meaning they cannot afford to sit back passively.
