The 1988 European champions will hope to cool the newcomers' enthusiasm as they head to Spain, Roger Schmidt's side having come from 2-0 down to beat PAOK 3-2 last time out. "To be honest, the coach was quite angry at half-time," conceded star forward Donyell Malen. Will he be a bit cheerier at full time in Granada?

Worth pointing out

Highlights: Standard Liège 0-2 Rangers

• Rangers' Kemar Roofe scored from halfway when his side took on Standard Liège on Matchday 1, and made his mark with another terrific strike as the Glaswegians drew 2-2 with Benfica last time out.

• Gareth Bale made the first start of his second spell with Tottenham when Spurs played upcoming opponents LASK on Matchday 1. Carlos Vinícius got his first Spurs goals in the 4-0 win against Ludogorets last time out; is it Bale's turn now to notch his first UEFA Europa League goal since returning from Real Madrid?

• LOSC's Yusuf Yazıcı remains the form player in the UEFA Europa League according to the FedEx Performance Zone, as well as its six-goal leading scorer. Top fact: the 23-year-old attacker is the first player to hit two away hat-tricks in a single season in a major UEFA club competition.

Highlights: Hoffenheim 2-0 Crvena zvezda

• Munas Dabbur remains on course to become the overall top group-stage scorer in UEFA Europa League history as Group L leaders Hoffenheim visit Crvena zvezda. With 18 goals – including four this term – the Israel striker is level with ex-Athletic Club forward Aritz Aduriz at the top of the table.

• Villarreal need one more goal to surpass Salzburg and become the all-time UEFA Europa League group-stage top scorers. If they avoid defeat at Sivasspor, the Yellow Submarine will also be sure of making it a tenth qualification from ten UEFA Cup and Europa League group stage campaigns.
