SK Sturm Graz vs PSG Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Pre-season Friendlies 2024

Les Parisiens to face Austrian Bundesliga side in a friendly before Trophée des Champions final.

SK Sturm Graz began their new league season with a defeat after suffering a 1-0 narrow loss to Rapid Wien on the opening day. The Austrian outfit had a good pre-season preparation after playing three friendlies against the likes of FC Midtjylland, Monaco and Porto. 

Although they have lost the opening match of the season, the team have done well in the Austrian Cup after securing a 4-2 victory over Kremser SC in the first round. They now have a brilliant chance to test themselves against a familiar opponent who they defeated last time when these two sides faced each other. 

After a successful campaign last season, where PSG won the treble including the league, Super Cup and Coupe de France. Les Parisiens begin a new era without their superstar Kylian Mbappe who made the switch to Real Madrid. 

Although the squad is staked with quality players, there is still work to do for the French giants as they take on Austrian outfit SK Sturm Graz in their first friendly of pre-season. Les Parisiens will have to be careful facing this side.
