Match Facts
SC Freiburg and FC Utrecht have never previously met in European competition, with Freiburg’s two games against Dutch opponents coming in the 2001-02 UEFA Cup when they went out 3-2 on aggregate to Feyenoord (0-1 away, 2-2 home).
FC Utrecht haven’t faced a German side in European competition since losing 6-3 to Hamburger SV back in September 1981 in the UEFA Cup.
SC Freiburg have won their last five home UEFA Europa League matches, scoring 16 goals and keeping three clean sheets. The last side to beat them were West Ham back in October 2023.
Utrecht are winless in their last 13 major European matches (D5 L8) since a 4-0 victory over Djurgården back in September 2004 in the UEFA Cup. Should they fail to win this game they’d equal the longest winless run by a Dutch side in major European competition, set by PSV between 2016 and 2018 (14).
FC Utrecht’s Nick Viergever could become the second Dutchman to make 50 UEFA Europa League appearances (2009-10 onwards), along with Jeremain Lens (57). Only five players have ever made more interceptions in the competition than he has (119).
