LASK, beaten 3-0 at Spurs, got their first points on the board by overcoming Ludogorets 4-3 at home although, having been 4-1 up at one stage, they ended the game hanging on with ten men following Lukas Grgic's 72nd-minute dismissal. Previous meetings • Antwerp have lost their last two home games against Austrian visitors, going down 4-3 after extra time to Admira Wacker in the 1992/93 European Cup Winners' Cup second round – but winning the tie after a 4-2 first-leg away win – and 1-0 to Salzburg in the second round of the following season's UEFA Cup after losing the first leg by the same score. • LASK's first UEFA contest with Belgian opposition did not occur until last season, when they lost both legs of their UEFA Champions League play-off to Club Brugge (0-1 h, 1-2 a). Form guide Antwerp • Antwerp beat champions Club Brugge 1-0 in the 2019/20 Belgian Cup final – the club's first victory in the competition for 28 years – to secure a place in the UEFA Europa League group stage for the first time. • Last season the club returned to European competition for the first time in a quarter of a century but were unable to negotiate their way through UEFA Europa League qualifying, going out in the play-offs to AZ Alkmaar after extra time (1-1 a, 1-4 h) following an away goals extra-time win in the third qualifying round against Viktoria Plzeň. • European Cup Winners' Cup runners-up to Parma in the 1992/93 final at Wembley, the Great Old have won three and lost three of their six European home games since. LASK • Fourth in the 2019/20 Austrian Bundesliga, LASK enjoyed the longest and most successful European run in their history last term, stretching from the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League to the UEFA Europa League round of 16. • LASK made their debut in the UEFA Europa League group stage last term, topping a group containing three European stalwarts in Sporting CP, PSV Eindhoven and Rosenborg before overcoming AZ Alkmaar in the round of 32 in what was the club's first experience of springtime European football. They are back in the group stage this term following big qualifying wins against DAC Dunajská Streda (7-0 h) and, in the play-offs, Sporting (4-1 a). Both were club record wins in this competition. • The team from the Danube city have won just one of their six away fixtures in the UEFA Europa League proper (D2 L3) – 2-1 at Rosenborg in last season's group stage. Links and trivia • Antwerp are one of six clubs making their UEFA Europa League group stage debut in 2020/21, the others being CSKA-Sofia (Group A), Granada and Omonoia (E), Leicester City (G) and Sivasspor (I). They are the eighth different Belgian club to appear in the competition proper. 3 Royal Antwerp FC - LASK Thursday 5 November 2020 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Bosuil, Deurne Team facts Royal Antwerp FC Formed: 1880 Nickname: The Great Old UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • UEFA Cup Winners' Cup: (1993) Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 4 (1957) Belgian Cup: 3 (2020) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2019/20: play-offs 2018/19: did not take part in UEFA competition 2017/18: did not take part in UEFA competition 2016/17: did not take part in UEFA competition 2015/16: did not take part in UEFA competition 2014/15: did not take part in UEFA competition 2013/14: did not take part in UEFA competition 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA competition 2011/12: did not take part in UEFA competition 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 4-0 twice, most recently v Nea Salamis 05/07/97, UEFA Intertoto Cup group stage • Biggest away win 1-4: Zürich v Antwerp 14/09/83, UEFA Cup first round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-5: Antwerp v Newcastle 13/04/94, UEFA Cup first round first leg • Heaviest away defeat 6-0: Real Madrid v Antwerp 28/11/57, European Champion Clubs' Cup first round second leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 4-0: Antwerp v Dundee United 17/10/89, second round first leg • Biggest away win 1-4: Zürich v Antwerp (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 0-5: Antwerp v Newcastle (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 5-2: Newcastle v Antwerp 27/09/94, UEFA Cup first round second leg LASK Linz Formed: 1908 Nickname: Die Schwarz-Weißen (The Black and Whites), Die Laskler UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 1 (1965) Austrian Cup: 1 (1965) 4 Royal Antwerp FC - LASK Thursday 5 November 2020 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Bosuil, Deurne Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2019/20: round of 16 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2018/19: third qualifying round 2017/18: did not take part in UEFA competition 2016/17: did not take part in UEFA competition 2015/16: did not take part in UEFA competition 2014/15: did not take part in UEFA competition 2013/14: did not take part in UEFA competition 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA competition 2011/12: did not take part in UEFA competition 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 7-0: LASK v DAC Dunajská Streda 24/09/20, UEFA Europa League third qualifying round • Biggest away win 0-4: B68 Toftir v LASK 23/06/96, UEFA Intertoto Cup group stage • Heaviest home defeat 0-5: LASK v Manchester United 12/03/20, UEFA Europa League round of 16 first leg • Heaviest away defeat 7-0: Újpest v LASK 28/09/77, UEFA Cup first round second leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 7-0: LASK v DAC Dunajská Streda (see above) • Biggest away win 1-4: Sporting CP v LASK 01/10/20, play-offs • Heaviest home defeat 0-5: LASK v Manchester United (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 7-0: Újpest v LASK (see above) 5 Royal Antwerp FC - LASK Thursday 5 November 2020 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Bosuil, Deurne Squad list Royal Antwerp FC Current season All-time UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
