Match Facts
This will be the first competitive encounter between Young Boys and Sporting CP, with Young Boys failing to win any of their previous four games against Portuguese opposition (D2, L2), drawing twice against Sporting Braga in the play-off round of qualifying for the 2011/12 UEFA Europa League, before losing both group stage games by a 1-2 scoreline to FC Porto in the 2019/20 UEFA Europa League.
Sporting CP will face Swiss opposition in European competition for the first time since a 0-3 defeat to Basel in the group stage of the 2012/13 UEFA Europa League, with that defeat ending a run of seven consecutive clean sheets for Sporting CP against Swiss opponents (W6, D1).
Sporting CP have won nine of their 16 games against Swiss opponents (D3, L4), with Leões only taking more wins against opponents from Netherlands (12) and England (10) in major European competition; eight of Sporting’s nine wins against Swiss opposition have come without conceding, which is their highest number of victories without conceding against opponents from a specific nation.
Since the 2009/10 UEFA Europa League rebrand, only nine of the other 91 teams to play 12+ home games in the competition have posted a better win rate on home soil than Young Boys (68%), with the Swiss outfit having won 17 of their 25 home games in the competition in that time (D1, L7).
Since his first UEFA Europa League appearance in February 2023, only Victor Boniface (7) and João Pedro (6) have more Europa League goals than Sporting CPs Pote (5) – two of his goals came in the away leg of last season’s play-off round against FC Midtjylland.
