Match Facts

  • Bologna and FC RB Salzburg have never previously faced in any European competition - the Italian side have only faced an Austrian side in one European campaign before, drawing 3-3 on aggregate with FC Admira Wacker in the 1990-91 UEFA Cup round of 16 (3-0 home, 0-3 away), before winning 6-5 in a penalty shootout.

  • FC RB Salzburg are winless in their last seven away major European matches against Italian teams (D2 L5) since a 2-1 win at Lazio on MD1 of the 2009-10 UEFA Europa League season.

  • Bologna have lost one of their last seven major European matches (W2 D4), having lost five of their previous six. They have, however, failed to score in six of their last 12 games, netting just seven goals overall in this run; they drew 0-0 with Brann last time out.

  • FC RB Salzburg have lost each of their last six away UEFA Europa League matches, conceding at least twice in every defeat. They had won three away games in a row before this run, all in the 2018-19 group stage.

  • FC RB Salzburg's Stefan Lainer has made 89 ball carries in the UEFA Europa League this season - only Lyon's Moussa Niakhaté (107) has made more. Lainer ranks sixth for ball carry distance, carrying the ball 951 metres in the competition in 2025-26.
