- Kick-off is Thursday, October 23 at 8pm at Celtic Park, with live coverage on TNT Sports 2 and streaming via discovery+ and partner platforms.
- Celtic enter on the back of a home loss to Braga in Europe and a 2-0 league defeat to Dundee, continuing a poor run without a Europa League victory.
- Sturm Graz arrive buoyed by a 2-1 win at Rangers earlier this month and a strong recent run noted by previews.
- Team news reports indicate Celtic doubts over Daizen Maeda due to a hamstring issue and a likely continued absence for Alistair Johnston, while Sturm Graz are without Oliver Christensen and Belmin Beganović.
- Previewers have posted predicted line-ups for both sides, with several tipping a draw and some forecasting a 1-1 scoreline.
