Adeyemi himself missed the first and, though Luka Sučić scored with the second, he hit the post with the third, meaning Salzburg had to settle for a point when the home side equalised before the break, also from the spot. That was the first UEFA Champions League match to feature four penalties. • This is the teams' first contest, and LOSC's first game against an Austrian club. Form guide Salzburg • Salzburg are taking part in 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). • The 6-2 defeat of Genk on Matchday 1 in 2019/20 was Salzburg's sixth successive home European win, and made it 19 European games without defeat in their own stadium (W15 D4). They have won just two of the subsequent nine (D2 L5). • 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 have not faced French opposition since losing to Marseille in the 2017/18 UEFA Europa League semi-finals (0-2 a, 2-1 h aet). That second-leg win made it three victories in their four home games against Ligue 1 visitors, the exception a 1-0 defeat by Nice in the 2016/17 UEFA Europa League group stage. • That loss in Marseille is Salzburg's only reverse in their last five games against French clubs, home and away (W3 D1). Overall their record is W4 D1 L3. LOSC • This is LOSC's seventh UEFA Champions League group stage campaign, but just their second in the past nine seasons. • Les Dogues' last appearance came in 2019/20, when they finished bottom of a section that also included Valencia, Chelsea and Ajax. LOSC lost five of their six games, the exception a 1-1 draw at home to Valencia on Matchday 3. • Only one of those previous six campaigns has extended into the knockout phase, in 2006/07 when they lost 1-0 home and away against Manchester United in the round of 16. • In 2020/21, LOSC's European campaign began in the UEFA Europa League group stage, where they finished second in their section behind AC Milan on 11 points, recording a notable 3-0 away win against the Rossoneri to help them finish above Sparta Praha and Celtic. • LOSC's campaign was ended by Ajax in the round of 32, the Amsterdam club winning 2-1 in both France and the Netherlands. • LOSC have lost five of their last six away games in the UEFA Champions League group stage (W1) and eight of 3 FC Salzburg - LOSC Lille Wednesday 29 September 2021 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Stadion Salzburg, Salzburg their last 12 away European matches (W2 D2). • LOSC claimed their fourth Ligue 1 title, and first since 2010/11, last season, finishing a point clear of Paris Saint- Germain. Their tally of 83 points was the highest in the club's history; LOSC suffered only three league defeats all season. • The coach who oversaw that title triumph, Christophe Galtier, departed for Nice in the summer after four years in charge; former Guingamp and Bordeaux boss Jocelyn Gourvennec replaced him.
