UEFA Europa League
All competitions
Bologna last faced Norwegian opponents in Europe in the 1967-68 Fairs Cup, knocking out Lyn Oslo 2-0 on aggregate (2-0 home, 0-0 away).
Brann’s only previous European encounter with an Italian side was in a two-legged first round Cup Winners’ Cup tie against Sampdoria in 1989-90, losing 3-0 on aggregate, with the Italian side going on to win the competition that season.
Following their 2-1 win over FCSB last time out, Bologna are looking for consecutive major European wins for the first time since winning five in a row during their 1998-99 UEFA Cup campaign.
Brann have won their last two UEFA Europa League matches, beating FC Utrecht and Rangers without conceding. They have never previously won three major European games in a row, nor have they kept three clean sheets in a row.
Fredrik Knudsen has made the most clearances (32) in the UEFA Europa League this season, while his Brann teammate Eivind Helland has made the joint most headed clearances (16).
