After game week 4
Now that we're back in Europe for the first time in 30 years, here's our Europa League opponents and our history against them. We've played friendlies against some of the teams, never played others and (of course) have played two of them in Europe before. Here's the skinny, in order of when we play them:
Real Betis (Spain - Drew 2-2 Away): We've played Real Betis just once in a friendly, losing 1-0 back in 2018.
Midtjylland (Denmark - Lost 2-3 at Home): We've never played the Danes in any game before this season, but they have played in Europe for the last 10 years!
FC Porto (Portugal - Won 2-0 at Home): We've played Porto in three friendlies, winning one, drawing one and losing one.
Sturm Graz (Austria - Drew 0-0 Away): The first of the teams we've faced in Europe before are Sturm Graz who we played in a two-legged UEFA Cup tie in 1984. We beat them 1-0 at home and then drew 1-1 away to advance to the Semi-Final.
Malmo FF (Sweden - Home): And then, of course, we host Malmo this year. 1979 saw us beat them in the European Cup final to lift the first of two European titles, thanks to that goal from Trevor Francis. We then played them over 2-legs in the 1995-96 UEFA Cup, where a 2-1 loss away was countered by a 1-0 win at home and we advanced on the away-goals rule. (We were also 5-0 up in Jack Burkitt's testimonial that was abandoned due to fog in 1961 and lost 2-0 in a 1987 pre-season friendly)
Utrecht (Netherlands - Away): We've played Utrecht in two pre-season friendlies, drawing once and losing the other games.
Braga (Portugal - Away): Braga have also only been played once in friendly, and we won it 3-0 at the start of the 2016 campaign.
Ferencvaros (Hungary - Home): We've never played Ferencvaros in any game before this season.
