Match Facts
Athletic Club’s only previous European meetings with Swedish opposition came in the 2017-18 UEFA Europa League – they drew 2-2 away and won 1-0 at home against Östersunds FK.
Elfsborg have lost all three of their previous meetings with Spanish opponents in all competitions, with all three games coming in 2007 (twice v Valencia in UEFA Champions League qualifying, once v Villlarreal in the UEFA Cup).
Athletic Club have won their last three UEFA Europa League matches – they’ve won four in a row twice before, in 2011-12 under Marcelo Bielsa and 2017-18 under José Ángel Ziganda.
Elfsborg have completed the fewest passes (863) and have the lowest pass accuracy (69.3%) in the UEFA Europa League this season, while they’ve played the fifth-most long passes (244) of any side.
Although they’ve spent 20% of their UEFA Europa League games in the lead this season, Elfsborg have had just two shots when they’ve been ahead, while facing 19 shots themselves.
