International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Wolfsberger AC and CSKA Moskva are looking forward to this Europa League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

It's quite the trip for CSKA Moskva when visiting Wolfsberger AC as the cities are 2100 kilometers apart.

Wolfsberger AC form and stats

Wolfsberger was eliminated in the group stage last season in the Europa League.

Wolfsberger AC have less points than they have played home games in the Tipico Bundesliga so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 0 points. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Wolfsberger, their manager F. Feldhofer and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Wolfsberger, who played 2-2 against Ried (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties). That match was also played at this venue (Lavanttal Arena). Ahead of that match, Wolfsberger lost 2-4 at home to St. Polten.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Tipico Bundesliga game versus Rapid Wien in only three days. This game is also played here at Lavanttal Arena.

Early season league goal statistics from Wolfsberger AC's 2 home games: 3 goals, 7 conceded.

CSKA Moskva form and stats

Moskva's mission in Europa League last season failed in the group stage.

CSKA Moskva have an excellent away record in the Premier League so far with 4-1-1 from 6 games. Moskva have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.

The supporters enjoyed Moskva's previous game versus Dinamo Moskva, a Premier League 3-1 win played at home. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Ural.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Arsenal Tula in just four days.

CSKA Moskva has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 10 goals from 6 games. Moskva's manager V. Goncharenko has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 3 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

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.
