[p]Trading Austrian Bundesliga victories with European defeats across the last five games until drawing at the weekend, Salzburg enter the third matchday of UEL action still seeking their first points having now lost three successive games in the main draw of this competition, their worst such run since a negative club record five-game run of losses set back in 2015/16. The Red Bulls’ woes are long-standing in this competition with just one win in eight UEL outings (D1, L6), and while a home return would usually stimulate progress, Salzburg have failed to score more than once in each of their last eight European games here (D2, L6). [/p]
[p]Ferencváros arrive in Austria on a nine-game unbeaten run (W5, D4), which includes picking up four of a possible six points from their opening UEL games. Upsetting the form book in their latest European trip, the Greens posted just their second victory in nine UEL proper away games (L7), which meant that Robbie Keane’s side have maintained their unbelievable travelling form across all fronts this season and are yet to taste defeat on the road (W7, D3). Despite the positives, Ferencváros have not won consecutive major European away games since defeating Liverpool and Athletic Club way back in 1967/68. [/p]
