Previous meetings • In their only previous meetings, Ivan Jovanović's APOEL eliminated Solbakken's FCK in the 2009/10 UEFA Champions League play-offs. Zdeněk Pospěch scored the only goal as FCK won in Copenhagen, but Kamil Kosowski (2) and Chrysostomos Michail (18pen 41) struck in a 3-1 home victory for APOEL in the return leg. • Current APOEL men Nektarios Alexandrou and Nuno Morais played in both legs of that tie; Mikael Antonsson, Mathias Jørgensen and William Kvist featured in the matches for FCK, while Thomas Delaney was an unused substitute in the second leg. • FCK's only previous games against Cypriot opponents were in that tie; APOEL's record in eight encounters with Danish sides is W3 D1 L4 (W2 D0 L2 at home – W1 D1 L2 in Denmark). • APOEL eliminated another Danish club – Aalborg – in the 2014/15 play-offs and overcame Midtjylland on away goals in last season's third qualifying round; they are thus unbeaten in their last three ties against Danish opponents since a 7-0 aggregate loss to B1903 København in the 1979/80 European Cup Winners' Cup. Match background • FCK defeated Crusaders and Astra Giurgiu to reach this stage, scoring 13 goals and conceding just one. • FCK have won only one of their five UEFA Champions League play-off ties, ousting Rosenborg on away goals in 2010/11. They have lost to APOEL (2009/10), Viktoria Plzeň (2011/12), LOSC Lille (2012/13) and Bayer Leverkusen (2014/15). • APOEL eliminated The New Saints and Rosenborg in the second and third qualifying rounds respectively; they have won 3-0 in both of their European home games this season. • APOEL have not won in six European away fixtures (D1 L5) since they prevailed 2-1 against Midtjylland on 28 July 2015. • APOEL won their first three play-off ties before being eliminated by Astana at this stage last season. Team and coach links • Former APOEL striker Aílton was signed from FCK in summer 2010 and would go on to lead the Legend to the 2011/12 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. Coach profiles • APOEL's Thomas Christiansen was raised in Copenhagen and represented FCK's rivals Brøndby as a youngster prior to being picked up by Barcelona. Capped twice by Spain – his mother's home country – he also played in Greece and Germany, and joined APOEL after a two-year spell in charge of AEK Larnaca. • Former Norway midfielder Solbakken has won six Danish titles in the course of two stints as FCK coach. Hired for a second time in August 2013, he picked up Danish championships with Aalborg and FCK as a player. FCK coach from 2006 to 2011, he tried his luck elsewhere with Köln and Wolverhampton Wanderers before returning to Copenhagen. 3 FC København - APOEL FC Tuesday 16 August 2016 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Parken, Copenhagen Squad list FC København Current season All-time UCLQ UCL League UCL UEFA No. Player Nat.
