Previous meetings • Sevilla won 2-0 home and away against Salzburg in the 2008/09 UEFA Cup first round - the sides' only previous meetings. Diego Capel (6) and Adriano (90+2) got the goals in the first leg in Spain, before a Frédéric Kanouté double sealed the tie in Austria (38, 57pen). • Jesús Navas started both games for Sevilla. Form guide Sevilla • Sevilla are in the UEFA Champions League group stage for the seventh time, and the fifth in the last seven seasons. They have qualified for the knockout phase in all but one of their participations. • In 2020/21, Julen Lopetegui's team finished second in Group E behind eventual champions Chelsea, picking up 13 points – one fewer than the English club. Sevilla were beaten 4-0 at home by Chelsea on Matchday 5, their heaviest European defeat in their own ground. • Sevilla then lost to Borussia Dortmund in the round of 16 (2-3 h, 2-2 a). • Fourth in Spain for the second season in a row in 2020/21, Sevilla won their section in each of their first two UEFA Champions League campaigns and, after finishing third in 2015/16 – when they went on to complete a hat-trick of UEFA Europa League wins – they have been group runners-up in their three most recent seasons in the competition. • Sevilla also lost 2-1 after extra time to European champions Bayern München in the 2020 UEFA Super Cup in Budapest. It was their fifth defeat in the match in six appearances. • Those 2008 contests against Salzburg are Sevilla's only previous matches versus an Austrian club. Salzburg • Salzburg have secured a third successive group stage campaign. They were third in their section behind Liverpool and Napoli in 2019/20, having qualified automatically to make their first group appearance since 1994. • In 2020/21, Salzburg beat Maccabi Tel-Aviv in the play-offs before again finishing third in their group, picking up four points in Group A. They lost both games against Bayern München and Atlético de Madrid, but won 3-1 at Lokomotiv Moskva after a 2-2 home draw to finish ahead of the Russian club. • A side coached by Jesse Marsch therefore moved into the UEFA Europa League, where they lost 2-0 at home and 2-1 away against eventual winners Villarreal in the round of 32. It was the second successive European campaign in which Salzburg had been eliminated at that stage following their 2019/20 loss against Eintracht Frankfurt (1-4 a, 2-2 h). • Having suffered 13 successive defeats in UEFA Champions League qualifying before 2019/20, Salzburg won 5-2 on aggregate against Maccabi in last season's play-offs (2-1 a, 3-1 h) and were also victorious at the same stage this season, seeing off Brøndby (2-1 h, 2-1 a). • This is Salzburg's fourth group stage appearance, a new Austrian record; they had previously been level with Sturm Graz on three. • Marsch left Salzburg to join RB Leipzig in the summer after two years in the post; he has been succeeded by German-born Matthias Jaissle, who returned to Salzburg after six months in charge of Liefering having been Salzburg's Under-18 coach between 2019 and January 2021. • The Austrian club won an eighth successive Bundesliga title in 2020/21 – their 15th overall – adding the Austrian Cup to complete a hat-trick of domestic doubles and an eighth in total, all in the last ten seasons. • Salzburg played four matches against Spanish clubs in 2020/21, losing all of them. Prior to their UEFA Europa League elimination by Villarreal, they had lost 3-2 away and 2-0 at home to Atlético, the latter defeat on Matchday 6 ending their hopes of UEFA Champions League progress. • The Austrian club's record away to Spanish sides is now W1 D2 L5. Overall Salzburg have managed four wins in their 18 games against Liga opponents, losing 12. 4 Sevilla FC - FC Salzburg Tuesday 14 September 2021 - 18.45CET (18.45 local time) Match press kit Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, Seville Links and trivia • Max Wöber moved to Salzburg from Sevilla in 2019 having made seven Liga appearances for the Spanish side after joining from Ajax that January. • Have played together: Thomas Delaney & Zlatko Junuzović (Werder Bremen 2017–18) Ludwig Augustinsson & Zlatko Junuzović (Werder Bremen 2017/18) • International team-mates: Thomas Delaney & Rasmus Kristensen (Denmark) • Delaney set up two goals in Denmark's 4-0 win away to Andreas Ulmer's Austria in 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying on 31 March this year. • Lucas Ocampos was in the Marseille side that beat Salzburg in the 2017/18 UEFA Europa League semi-finals (2-0 h, 1-2 a aet). He had played 90 minutes of a goalless draw between the sides in France on Matchday 6 of the same season.
