There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the Europa League 8th Finals meeting between Molde and Granada. Game on!

Granada could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a La Liga game only four sleeps ago.

This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Granada's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Granada have performed like this: Played three matches resulting in 3 wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats with the goal stats 11-1 (scored/conceded).

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 3800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Molde participated in Europa League the last season, where they reached the play-offs.

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Puskás Aréna as Molde have scored 42 goals to get 37 points from 15 games. The overall stats in the Eliteserien are 12-1-2 (wins-draws-losses). On the other hand, in the Europa League, Molde has performed like this (both home and away): 4 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
