Last season in the Austrian Bundesliga, RB Salzburg’s decade-long dominance came to an end. The team finished in second place with 42 points, two points behind the Austrian champions. The club’s management decided to replace the head coach, bringing in Pepijn Lijnders, a former assistant to Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool, who also left the team at the end of the previous season. The new coach started this campaign with a victory, as Salzburg won their opening match 3-2 away against Graz.
In recent years, Salzburg has consistently competed in European competitions. The club’s highest achievement in its recent history is reaching the UEFA Europa League semifinals in the 2017/18 season. In the previous campaign, the team played in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. In six matches, Salzburg lost four times, drew once, and won once. The Austrian team finished in fourth place and exited the European tournaments.
Last season, the Dutch team finished in third place in the league table. In 34 matches, they earned 69 points and qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the first time since the 2010/11 season. They were unable to advance to the final stage, as they were eliminated in the second round. In the 2022/23 season, Twente also competed in qualifying, but this time for the UEFA Conference League.
They were also unable to reach the final stage, as they were defeated by Fiorentina in the playoff round. In preparation for the current season, Twente played five friendly matches. The Dutch team drew four times and won once.
