Match Facts
This is the first ever meeting between West Ham United and Backa Topola, and the Hammers’ first ever game against Serbian opponents.
Backa Topola are competing in major European competition for the first time in their history. They are the first debutant Serbian team since Borac Cacak in 2008-09, who lost 4-1 to Ajax in the UEFA Cup in their first match.
Reigning UEFA Europa Conference League champions West Ham United won 14 games in European competition last season (including qualifiers), the most ever wins by an English team in a single season. Only Atlético de Madrid in 2011-12 have ever won more in a season (17).
Backa Topola are the first side to face English opponents in their debut game in major European competition since Estonian team FCI Levadia in September 2006, who lost 1-0 to Newcastle. The last side to win in their first ever major European game against an English team was Trelleborgs FF in September 1994 against Blackburn Rovers, with Rovers also making their major European bow in that game.
Only two players scored more Conference League goals last season than West Ham’s Michail Antonio (6). Antonio also netted two Europa League goals for the Hammers in 2021-22, with the Jamaican scoring five in his last five at the London Stadium in major European competition.
