Match Facts
This will be both Raków Czestochowa’s first European meeting with an Austrian side, and Sturm Graz’s first ever such game against a Polish opponent.
The only previous UEFA Europa League matches between a Polish and an Austrian club came in the 2010-11 group stage, with Lech Poznan winning home and away to FC Red Bull Salzburg.
Raków Czestochowa have lost just one of their 10 previous home games in all European competitions (W7 D2), although that was the most recent, a 0-1 defeat by FC København in qualifying for this season’s UEFA Champions League.
Sturm Graz are winless in their last eight UEFA Europa League away games (D2 L6) since beating AEK Athens 2-1 in the 2011-12 group stage.
On MD1 of this season’s UEFA Europa League, Raków Czestochowa both attempted the fewest shots (3) and faced the most (29) of any side, while their expected goals against total of 3.93 was also a tournament-high in the opening game.
