1. Galatasaray – 11
2. Lazio – 8
3. Marseille – 4
4. Lokomotiv – 2

- Both club’s coches have been successful in this competition, Fatih Terim overseeing Galatasaray’s victory in the 1999-00 UEFA Cup and Maurizio Sarri leading Chelsea to UEFA Europa League glory in 2018-19.

- Terim worked in Italy in 2000-01 with Fiorentina before a short spell the following season with Milan.

- Galatasaray’s goalkeeper and captain Fernando Muslera joined the club in 2011 after four season, 96 Serie A appearances and a 2008-09 Coppa Italia triumph with Lazio. His former team-mate Ştefan Radu is still with the Rome club.

- Lazio’s Kosovo international striker Vedat Muriqi in Turkey from 2014 to 2020 with Giresunspor, Gençlerbirliği, Çaykur Rizespor and Fenerbahçe. He was never on the winning side against Galatasaray in seven attempts (two draws and five losses), although he did score against them in Rizespor’s 2-3 home defeat on 11 May 2019.

- Galatasaray’s Ryan Babel – a scorer against Marseille on Matchday 5 – and Lazio due Pepe Reina and Lucas Leiva were team-mates at Liverpool from 2007 to 2011.

- Galatasaray’s Senegalese forward Mbaye Diagne spent the early part of his career in Italy’s lower leagues, with Brandizzo and Bra, before joining Juventus in July 2013. However, he never made a first-team appearance for the Turin club, five loan spells abroad preceding his departure in February 2016.

- While there are no former UEFA Europa League winners in this season’s group stage, Galatasaray are one of five clubs involved that have lifted the trophy is former guise as the UEFA Cup; PSV Eindhoven in Group B, Napoli in Group C, Eintracht Frankfurt in Group D and Bayer Leverkusen in Group G are the others.

- This is Lazio’s 76^th match in the UEFA Europa League, group stage to final – only Villarreal (88) have played more. The Rome’s ninth group stage appearance is a competition record they share with fellow 2021-22 competitors PSV Eindhoven and Rapid Wien.

- Runners-up to Beşiktaş in the 2020-21 Turkish Süper Lig by the narrowest of margins, Galatasaray were unable to join their Istanbul rivals in this season’s UEFA Champions League group stage as they were overwhelmed by PSV Eindhoven in the second qualifying round (2-7 on aggregate). However, Fatih Terim’s side ensured an autumn of UEFA Europa League involvement by subsequently defeating Saint Johnstone (5-3 on aggregate) and Randers (3-2 on aggregate).

- Ousted by Rangers in the play-offs of last season’s UEFA Europa League by 1-2, Galatasaray are featuring in the competition’s group stage for only the second time, their debut having come in the inaugural 2009-10 season, when they topped their group before losing to eventual winners Atlético de Madrid in the round of 32 since then, in 2015-16 and 2018-19 – after transferring from the UEFA Champions League – but also lost those knockout ties, to Lazio and Benfica respectively.

- Galatasaray’s away record in the UEFA Europa League is seven wins, seven draws and four losses. They have yet to concede in their two Group E fixtures outside Istanbul, drawing 0-0 to Marseille and winning 1-0 in Moscow against Lokomotiv Moskva.

- Sixth in Serie A last term, Lazio have returned, under new boss Maurizio Sarri, for a record-equaling ninth appearance in the UEFA Europa League group stage. They spent 2020-21 under Simone Inzaghi in the UEFA Champions League, where they were unbeaten runners-up to Borussia Dortmund in the autumn, drawing all three away games 1-1, before going out to another German club, holders Bayern München, in the round of 16 (2-6 on aggregate).

- Runners-up, to fellow Italians Inter, in the 1997-98 UEFA Cup, the Biancocelesti were on a run of six successful UEFA Europa League group stage participations – after failure in the first – until they mustered just six points on their last appearance, in 2019-20, and finished a distant third behind Celtic and CFR Cluj. Their best performances in the competition came in 2012-13 and 2017-18, when they reached the quarterfinals.

- Lazio’s home record in the UEFA Europa League group stage is 17 wins, five draws and four losses. They were a run of 17 group games undefeated in Rome (13 wins and four draws) until they lost 1-2 to Eintracht Frankfurt on Matchday 6 in 2018-19. The Serie A side have now lost three of their last seven home games in the competition overall, the goalless stalemate against Marseille on Matchday 3 their first home draw in ten UEFA Europa League outings at the Olimpico.

- Already through to the UEFA Europa League knockout phase, Lazio and Galatasaray face off in Rome for the right to proceed directly into the round of 16 as winners of Group E.

- Both clubs posted resounding victories on Matchday 5, Lazio winning 3-0 at Lokomotiv Moskva thanks to two Ciro Immobile penalties and a late third goal from Pedro, while Galatasaray remained unbeaten on top of the table after a 4-2 defeat of Marseille in Istanbul, scoring more goals in that one game than in their first four Group E fixtures combined.

- With 11 points on the board, three more than their Matchday 6 hosts, Galatasaray will remain in first place if they avoid defeat at the Stadio Olimpico. Lazio will finish first if they win.

Galatasaray won the Matchday 1 encounter in Istanbul 1-0 thanks to an own goal from Lazio goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha.

- The clubs first met in the opening group stage of the 2001-02 UEFA Champions League, when they traded 1-0 home wins, but Galatasaray, with ten points, progressed to the second group stage while Lazio, with six, went out. The only other encounters came in the 2015-16 UEFA Europa League round of 32, where the Italian side, led by Stefano Pioli, triumphed 4-2 on aggregate against Mustafa Denizli’s Galatasaray (4-1 on aggregate).

- The Matchday 1 defeat was the only third Lazio have suffered in 15 UEFA matches against Turkish teams. They have yet to lose at home (four wins and three draws), though that 3-1 win against Galatasaray in 2016 ended a run of three successive draws against Süper Lig visitors.

- Cimbom’s overall record against Italian clubs is now eight wins, nine draws and eight losses, but none of those victories have come on Italian soil, where their record is five draws and seven losses. Four of the five draws have been in the UEFA Champions League group stage, the exception 1-1 at Bologna in the first match of the triumphant UEFA Cup campaign.
