Previous meetings • This is the teams' first meeting in UEFA competition and Liberec's maiden encounter with an Azerbaijani club. • Qarabağ lost to Liberec's Czech rivals Viktoria Plzeň on away goals after two draws in this season's UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. Overall, their record against Czech opposition is W0 D2 L2 (D1 L1 at home). Form guide • Qarabağ are featuring in the UEFA Europa League group stage for the third season in succession but have yet to make it to the round of 32. • Qarabağ are unbeaten in three European home games this term (W2 D1). • Liberec won all four of their qualifying games to make it to this season's group stage. • Liberec have qualified in only one of their three previous UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League group campaigns. Links and trivia • The journey from Liberec to Qarabağ's Baku home is around 2,900km. The coaches • Qarabağ coach Gurban Gurbanov is Azerbaijan's highest-scoring international with 12 goals in 62 matches and played in Russia and Ukraine as well as Azerbaijan. Coach since 2008, he has led Qarabağ to domestic championships in the last three campaigns. • Jindřich Trpišovský took control at Liberec in June 2015. The coach models himself on Liverpool's Jürgen Klopp. Once a youth coach at Sparta Praha, he previously led second-division Viktoria Žižkov, impressing despite the club's financial problems. 3 Qarabağ FK - FC Slovan Liberec Thursday 15 September 2016 - 17.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Dalga Stadium, Baku Team facts Qarabağ FK Formed: 1951 Nickname: Atlılar (The Horsemen) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • none Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) Domestic title: 4 (2016) Azerbaijani Cup: 5 (2016) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2015/16: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2014/15: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2013/14: play-offs 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2011/12: third qualifying round 2010/11: play-offs 2009/10: play-offs 2008/09: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2007/08: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2006/07: first qualifying round Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 4-0: Qarabağ v Valletta FC 22/07/14, UEFA Europa League second qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 0-4: FK Banga v Qarabağ 30/06/11, UEFA Europa League first qualifying round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-4: Qarabağ v FC København 27/08/98, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup qualifying phase second leg • Heaviest away defeat 6-0: FC København v Qarabağ 13/08/98, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup qualifying phase first leg 6-0: Montpellier Hérault SC v Qarabağ 10/07/99, UEFA Intertoto Cup second round second leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 4-0: Qarabağ v Valletta FC (see above) • Biggest away win 0-4: FK Banga v Qarabağ (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 0-3: Qarabağ v FK Jablonec 30/07/97, first qualifying phase second leg • Heaviest away defeat 5-0: FK Jablonec v Qarabağ 23/07/97, first qualifying phase first leg FC Slovan Liberec Formed: 1958 Nickname: Modrobílí (Blue and Whites) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • UEFA Intertoto Cup: 2004 Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) 4 Qarabağ FK - FC Slovan Liberec Thursday 15 September 2016 - 17.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Dalga Stadium, Baku League title: 3 (2012) Czech Cup: 2 (2015) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2015/16: group stage 2014/15: third qualifying round 2013/14: round of 32 2012/13: play-offs (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2011/12: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2009/10: play-offs 2008/09: second qualifying round 2007/08: UEFA Intertoto Cup second round 2006/07: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 5-0: Liberec v MFK Dubnica 10/07/04, UEFA Intertoto Cup second round second leg • Biggest away win 0-3: Hapoel Kiryat Shmona FC v Liberec 06/08/15, UEFA Europa League third qualifying round first leg 0-3 (default): FC Dinamo Bucureşti v Liberec 20/08/09, UEFA Europa League play-off first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-3: Liberec v FC Dinamo Bucureşti 27/08/09, UEFA Europa League play-off second leg • Heaviest away defeat 4-0: SC Braga v Liberec 02/11/06, UEFA Cup group stage 4-0: Borussia Dortmund v Liberec 21/03/02, UEFA Cup quarter-finals second leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 4-1: Liberec v Grasshopper Club Zürich 23/11/06, group stage 4-1: Liberec v Olympique Lyonnais 28/02/02, fourth round second leg 3-0: Liberec v RC Celta de Vigo 01/11/01, second round second leg 3-0: Liberec v AEK Larnaca 25/08/16, play-off second leg • Biggest away win 0-3: Hapoel Kiryat Shmona FC v Liberec (see above) 0-3 (default): FC Dinamo Bucureşti v Liberec (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 0-3: Liberec v FC Dinamo Bucureşti (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 4-0: SC Braga v Liberec (see above) 4-0: Borussia Dortmund v Liberec (see above) 5 Qarabağ FK - FC Slovan Liberec Thursday 15 September 2016 - 17.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Dalga Stadium, Baku Squad list Qarabağ FK Current season All-time UCL QUAL UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
