Match Facts
This will be the first ever European meeting between Liverpool and Union Saint-Gilloise; the Reds have lost just one of 15 previous UEFA competition games against Belgian sides (W12 D2), a 1-3 defeat to RSC Anderlecht in the 1978 Super Cup first leg.
Union Saint-Gilloise’s only previous European meetings with an English side saw them lose both legs to Birmingham City in the 1958-60 Inter Cities Fairs’ Cup semi-final. They are looking to become the first ever Belgian club to avoid defeat against Liverpool at Anfield, with the Reds winning all seven previous European home games against such opposition.
Liverpool have only lost one of 21 previous UEFA Europa League games at Anfield (W15 D5), a 2-3 defeat to Udinese under Brendan Rodgers in October 2012. Indeed, across all major UEFA competitions, the Reds have won each of their last seven group stage games at Anfield, all in the Champions League from 2020-21 to 2022-23.
Union Saint-Gilloise didn’t lose any of their five away games in last season’s UEFA Europa League (W3 D2), winning all three such outings in the group stage. Indeed, they are one of only two sides to play more than one away game in the competition since it began in 2009 without ever losing, along with SC Heerenveen (3 games).
Liverpool’s Darwin Núñez has been directly involved in eight goals in eight UEFA Europa League appearances (6 goals, 2 assists), averaging a goal involvement every 66 minutes in the competition. Since the tournament began in 2009, only two players (min. 500 mins) have a lower mins-per-goal involvement rate than the Uruguayan - Claudio Pizarro (58) and Jonathan Legear (65).
