Sturm Graz are unbeaten in their last five home matches and have just won 6-1, but have yet to score in Europe. Marseille followed a league win with a second straight European defeat and are without Højbjerg and Cornelius. Home momentum offsets the visitors' market edge, making a draw a slight preference.
Sturm Graz have struggled to score in Europe, and the listed absence of Kiteishvili and others could further limit their creativity at home.
Marseille's league attack has recently improved; if their counterattacks land, the away win favored by the market remains a credible outcome.

Marseille are the market's slight favourites at 2.05 away, but they have lost their opening two Europa League games, have not won away in Europe in six matches, and are missing key midfield and central defensive players, which weakens their defence. Sturm Graz have stayed unbeaten at home for five matches, won their last home game 6-1 against Grazer AK, and have a strong home record this season, though they are still goalless in Europe. The market and other data point in different directions; overall, the home side are slight favourites and a low-scoring game is most likely.
If Marseille can use quick counterattacks to break through Sturm Graz's high defensive line, an away win is still possible.
Sturm Graz have not scored in Europe yet, so doubts remain over whether their domestic attacking output will carry over.
The weather is calm, but in a tight low-scoring game a single goal could decide the match, leaving little margin for error.

Sturm Graz are unbeaten in five straight home matches and just won 6-1, and although they have not scored in the Europa League yet, their home defense looks solid. Marseille are winless in six away Europa League games, have only one goal in two group matches, and are missing key midfield and defensive anchors Højbjerg and Cornelius. Market lean favors Marseille, but current form and absences give the hosts the edge to avoid defeat and possibly win.

Model insight
Sturm Graz are unbeaten in five home matches and have just won 6-1 at home, pressing high with sharp transitions; Marseille have the stronger individuals but lose Højbjerg and Cornelius, weakening midfield protection and central defence, and are winless in six straight Europa League away games. Both sides have struggled to score in Europe, so 1-1 and 1-2 fit best.
Marseille are missing two first-choice defenders and their makeshift pairing lacks cohesion; if Sturm Graz's press creates quick transitions, the window for a home upset opens fast.
Sturm Graz have scored zero goals in two Europa League games; if their finishing stays blunt, a narrow Marseille win or even a clean sheet becomes just as likely.
