Match Facts
This will be the first European competition fixture between Molde and Bayer Leverkusen; the Norwegian side are unbeaten in their last five such meetings with German clubs (W3 D2) since a 2-3 defeat to VfB Stuttgart in UEFA Europa League qualifying in 2010-11.
Bayer Leverkusen have won all four of their previous UEFA competition matches against Norwegian clubs, all against Rosenborg in the UEFA Europa League group stages (two in 2010-11, two in 2012-13).
Molde have lost each of their last three European matches, two in UEFA Champions League qualifying to Galatasaray and on MD1 in the UEFA Europa League to Qarabag; the Norwegian club have never before suffered four straight defeats in UEFA competition’s.
Bayer Leverkusen have won nine of their last 11 UEFA Europa League group stage games (D1 L1), beating BK Häcken 4-0 on MD1. Only in 2018-19 and 2021-22 have the German club won both of their first two games of a group stage in the competition.
Since the start of 2020-21, Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz has been directly involved in more UEFA Europa League goals than any other player (18 – 9 goals, 9 assists). The 20-year-old both scored and assisted a goal on MD1 against BK Häcken.
