Match background

Having let slip an early advantage at Salzburg, Brøndby welcome the Austrian champions to Denmark looking to overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit as their UEFA Champions League play-off concludes. • Mikael Uhre gave Brøndby a fourth-minute lead in Salzburg on 17 August, but second-half strikes from (56) and, in the 90th minute, Brenden Aaronson turned the tie in favour of a Salzburg side bidding to earn a third successive group stage appearance. • That was both clubs' first European engagement of 2021/22. It was also the sides' first fixture, and only a second pairing with a team from their opponents' country for each. Form guide Brøndby • Brøndby's only previous UEFA Champions League group stage appearance came in 1998/99, when they finished fourth in a section involving eventual winners Manchester United, Bayern München – who went on to lose to United in the final at the Camp Nou – and Barcelona. They lost both games against United (2-6 h, 0-5 a) and Barcelona (0-2 h, 0-2 a) and also went down 2-0 in Munich, having started with a 2-1 home victory against Bayern thanks to Allan Ravn's 89th-minute winner. • The defeat at Parken Stadium by United remains their heaviest home loss in UEFA competition. • Brøndby were Danish champions for the 11th time in 2020/21, their first championship success since 2004/05. • This is Brøndby's first UEFA Champions League campaign since they lost 5-3 on aggregate to Ajax in the 2005/06 third qualifying round – their sixth qualifying loss in the competition and their fourth since that sole group appearance. • That 2005/06 season was also the last campaign in which Brøndby were involved in a European group stage – in the UEFA Cup, a competition in which they reached the semi-finals back in 1990/91, their most successful continental campaign. • Brøndby were not involved in UEFA club competition in 2020/21; their most recent campaign, in 2019/20, ended in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round with a 7-3 aggregate defeat by Portuguese side Braga. • Having lost 4-2 at home and 3-1 away to Braga, the defeat at Salzburg means Brøndby have been beaten in seven of their last nine European games, winning the other two. • Brøndby have lost only three of their last 15 home European fixtures (W7 D5) but have been defeated in nine of the last ten away (W1) including all of the last five. • Brøndby have faced Austrian opponents only once before this tie, losing on away goals to Ried in the 2011/12 UEFA Europa League third qualifying round (0-2 a, 4-2 h). • Brøndby have won only four of the 18 UEFA ties in which they were beaten away in the first leg, although they did triumph in the most recent, against Lechia Gdańsk in the 2019/20 UEFA Europa League second qualifying round (1-2 a, 4-1 h aet). That was one of three ties in which the Danish side lost 2-1 in the away first leg; they also beat Schalke in the 2003/04 UEFA Cup second round (2-1 h, 3-1 pens) but lost to Widzew Łódź in the 1996/97 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round (3-2 h, lost on away goals). They have therefore won all three second legs after losing 2-1 away. • Brøndby's record in four penalty shoot-outs in UEFA competition is W3 L1: 0-3 v Sportul Studenţesc, 1987/88 UEFA Cup second round 4-2 v Torpedo Moskva, 1990/91 UEFA Cup quarter-final 3-1 v Schalke, 2003/04 UEFA Cup second round 5-3 v Hibernian, 2016/17 UEFA Europa League second qualifying round Salzburg • Salzburg are looking to secure 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 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).
