Gladbach struck late to salvage a 1-1 draw in Turkey following their shock 0-4 defeat at home to the Austrian debutants on Matchday 1. Previous meetings • Although the clubs have never met, both have plenty of UEFA competition experience against clubs from their opponents' country. • This is Roma's 27th fixture against German opposition. They have won ten of the previous 26 (D2 L14), eight at home, most recently 3-2 against Bayer Leverkusen in the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League group stage. A year earlier in the same competition they suffered their heaviest home European defeat, going down 7-1 to Bayern München. • Mönchengladbach have won more games than they have lost against Italian sides (W5 D7 L4), their three away wins including a memorable 4-2 comeback success at Fiorentina, featuring a rapid-fire Lars Stindl hat-trick, on their most recent visit – in the second leg of the 2016/17 UEFA Europa League round of 32 (aggregate 4-3). They did, however, go out to Roma's local rivals Lazio at the same stage of the competition four years earlier, a 3-3 home draw preceding a 2-0 defeat at the Stadio Olimpico. Form guide Roma • Roma finished sixth in last season's Serie A, missing out on UEFA Champions League qualification for the first time in six years. They were defeated 4-3 on aggregate after extra time by Porto in the 2018/19 round of 16 having reached the previous season's semi-finals. • This is the Giallorossi's fifth participation in the UEFA Europa League proper but only their third appearance in the group stage.
