Match Facts

  • AZ are unbeaten in all four of their home games against Italian sides in all competitions (W3 D1), with each of these coming against a different opponent (Inter, Udinese, Napoli, Lazio).

  • Roma have lost just one of their last 12 meetings with Dutch opponents in all competitions (W5 D6), going down 1-0 against Feyenoord in April 2023. This is their first ever meeting with AZ.

  • Including qualifiers, AZ have lost just two of their last 34 home European matches (W22 D10) with both defeats coming against English opponents in 2023 in the Conference League (1-2 vs. West Ham in May, 1-4 vs. Aston Villa in October).

  • Roma had 34 shots and 17 shots on target in their 3-0 win over Braga on MD6, with only three sides ever having more shots in a UEFA Europa League match. Their tally of 17 shots on target has been bettered just once, by FC RB Salzburg vs Astra Giurgiu in December 2014 (19).

  • Manu Koné created seven chances for Roma on MD6 against Braga, a tally bettered by just three players in a UEFA Europa League game this season, while it was the best by a Roma player in a major European game since Lorenzo Pellegrini created seven against Bodø/Glimt in April 2022.
