Match background Zenit • Zenit made an impressive start in Group H by beating Valencia CF 3-2 to record their first-ever victory on Spanish soil. • Zenit have won all five previous home games against Belgian opposition with a combined score of 12-1. Their most recent victory was 3-0 against R. Standard de Liège in the 2014/15 play-off round when goals from José Rondón and Hulk (2) completed a 4-0 aggregate triumph. • When Zenit previously faced a Belgian team in the UEFA Champions League group stage – RSC Anderlecht in 2012/13 – they prevailed 1-0 at home through an Aleksandr Kerzhakov penalty and lost 1-0 away. • Zenit had a record of five wins and just one defeat in their eight European home fixtures last season. Gent • Nine-man Gent took a point from their debut fixture in the UEFA Champions League on matchday one, holding Olympique Lyonnais 1-1 thanks to Matz Sels's late penalty save from Alexandre Lacazette. • Gent are facing Russian opposition for the second time, 24 years after a 2-0 aggregate victory over FC Dinamo Moskva in the 1991/92 UEFA Cup third round. • In that tie with Dinamo, they won 2-0 at home before travelling to Simferopol, the capital of Crimea, for the second leg which finished goalless. • Gent lost all three of their away trips in their only previous experience of a UEFA competition group stage – the 2010/11 UEFA Europa League. Coach and player links • André Villas-Boas's first European fixture as a head coach was with Porto against Belgian side KRC Genk in the 2010/11 UEFA Europa League play-offs. Porto won the first leg 3-0 in Belgium before Hulk scored a hat-trick in a 4-2 home success. • Villas-Boas faced Genk again as Chelsea FC manager in the following season's UEFA Champions League group stage, posting a 5-0 home win and 1-1 away draw. • During his time as Genk coach Heinz Vanhaezebrouck suffered a 2-0 Belgian Super Cup defeat by Standard, in August 2009, in which Axel Witsel scored the second goal. • Witsel scored twice against Gent as a Standard player, both times in away wins – 1-0 in May 2009 and 3-1 in April 2011. • Lombaerts played for Gent between 2004 and 2007, making 76 league appearances and scoring once. • Player who have played together: Lombaerts & Brian Vandenbussche (Belgium 2006–07) Match facts Zenit • Zenit have picked up just one point from their last three home league matches, losing to FC Krasnodar (2-0, 15 August) and PFC Krylya Sovetov Samara (3-1, 29 August). They suffered only one Premier-Liga defeat at Stadion Petrovski last season and three in the championship overall. • Villas-Boas was given a six-game domestic touchline ban after being sent to the stands during the Krylya Sovetov Samara fixture. • The Portuguese announced on 10 September that he will leave Zenit at the end of the season. • Denis Tkachuk, not in Zenit's UEFA Champions League squad, scored an extra-time hat-trick as the Blue-White-Sky Blues triumphed 3-0 at third-tier FC Volga Tver in the Russian Cup round of 32 on 23 September. Dmitri Bogaev made his senior Zenit debut. • Oleg Shatov (muscular injury) had missed last two matches before returning for Saturday's 2-2 draw at Spartak 2 FC Zenit - KAA Gent Tuesday 29 September 2015 - 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Match press kit Stadion Petrovskiy, St Petersburg Moskva. Gent • Thomas Foket and Brecht Dejaegere are banned following their red cards on matchday one. • Gent are 12 games unbeaten in all competitions this term. They have drawn six of them. • Gent recorded their biggest win since 7 February when they defeated nine-man R. Standard de Liège 4-1 on 20 September. Substitute Thomas Matton scored twice, his first goals for the Buffalos. • Vanhaezebrouck's men beat second-tier KAS Eupen 3-0 at home in the Belgian Cup round of 32 on 23 September. • Sels exteded his contract until the summer of 2019 on 21 September. • Uroš Vitas, who has not played this season because of ankle and hamstring injuries, was an unused substitute against Lyon and Standard, and for Saturday's 3-1 win at Waasland-Beveren. • Erik Johansson suffered a knee ligament injury while training with Sweden in early September and is expected to be out for four to six weeks. 3 FC Zenit - KAA Gent Tuesday 29 September 2015 - 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Match press kit Stadion Petrovskiy, St Petersburg Legend ALL-TIME STATISTICS The all-time record of the competing clubs in UEFA club competition.

The Brazilian is not the only one who should feel at home at the Estádio do Dragão given that Zenit have won at this venue already this season in their play-off against FC Paços de Ferreira. Previous meetings • Zenit got the better of Porto when the sides met in the 2011/12 group stage.
