Basque fans have long awaited the return of their beloved team to the international stage. While Ernesto Valverde's team couldn’t secure a spot in the coveted Champions League, they will compete in the Europa League, with the final set to take place in Bilbao. This gives the Basques the chance to achieve two goals — win a trophy and secure a Champions League berth. Given that no teams will drop down from the Champions League this season, the Basques are seen as one of the tournament's main favorites, especially if the draw in the knockout stages goes in their favor. The Basques started the tournament with a road draw in Rome, salvaged by a late goal from center-back Aitor Paredes against Roma, 1-1. The Europa League then returned to San Mames, where in their first home game, they confidently defeated Dutch side AZ, 2-0, and two weeks ago, despite difficulties, overcame Slavia Prague with a score of 1-0. Seven points from three matches allow the club to be among the top eight. Only three clubs have more points so far — Lazio, Tottenham, and Anderlecht. Five other teams also have seven points — Ajax, Galatasaray, Midtjylland, Eintracht, and Bodo/Glimt.

In their first Europa League match since 2013, Elfsborg lost to AZ Alkmaar in heavy rain, 2-3. The weather played a trick on Swedish goalkeeper Isak Pettersson, as Ruben van Bommel, son of Mark van Bommel, scored his first of two goals. In addition, the visitors made defensive mistakes: after the break, Ahmed Qasem conceded a penalty, and center-back Sebastian Holmen received a red card after accidentally slipping and bringing down an opponent. Following this, they defeated Kalmar in the Swedish Championship with a score of 3-1, although it should be noted that the opponent currently sits second-to-last in the standings.
