In the second round of the UEFA Champions League stage, a match between Sturm and Brugge will take place at Merkur Arena in Graz. In the first round, the top team of the 2023/24 Austrian Championship lost to Brest in French Guingamp, 1-2. The Black-Whites managed only two shots on target and scored their sole goal thanks to an own goal. The Styrian team stood out for their very rough play, committing twenty-three fouls. The Belgian champions hosted Borussia Dortmund in mid-September and suffered a 0-3 defeat. Neither side could open the scoring until the 76th minute. Both teams displayed attacking football (shot stats: 18-17), but the visitors had a significantly higher conversion rate.

The hosts have suffered defeats in their last four home matches in the Champions League. The Graz-based team last won on home soil against Georgian side Zestafoni in the third qualifying round of the 2011/12 season, 1-0. In the main stage of the competition, the Black-Whites have not claimed a home victory since the 2000/01 season, when they defeated Panathinaikos, 2-0. Since the early 2000s, the Styrian side has faced only one Belgian club at home — Anderlecht in the Europa League group stage in 2011/12, where they lost 0-2.

Brugge encountered an Austrian team in the Champions League during the 2019/20 qualifying round. This was a tie against LASK, where the Jupiler Pro League side secured a 1-0 win away. Nineteen years ago, the representatives of West Flanders defeated Austria Vienna 3-2 in the Austrian capital. In 1992, the Gazelles faced the same opponent but lost 1-3 on the road. Additionally, the Black-and-Blues played against another Austrian Bundesliga team in the 2018/19 Europa League Round of 32, suffering a heavy defeat to Salzburg away, 0-4.
