They might both have collected just a single point so far but third place and a ticket to the UEFA Europa League is within reach for PFC Ludogorets Razgrad and FC Basel 1893. • The sides drew 1-1 in Basel on opening night, Renato Steffen coming to the rescue for the Swiss champions 11 minutes from time after Ludogorets had taken a surprise lead through Jonathan Cafú . • The winners of this game will secure third place in Group A. Previous meetings • Ludogorets made history in 2014/15 when full-back Yordan Minev's goal in added time secured a 1-0 home win against Basel – the first success for any Bulgarian side in the UEFA Champions League group stage. Geoffroy Serey Dié was sent off for the visitors with 18 minutes gone. • The lineups on 22 October 2014 at Natsionalen Stadion Vasil Levski were: Ludogorets: Stoyanov, Júnior Caiçara, Terziev, Moţi, Y Minev, Dyakov, Fábio Espinho, Alexandrov (Wanderson 81), Marcelinho, Dani Abalo (Misidjan 77), Bezjak (Hamza 68). Basel: Vaclík, T Xhaka, Schär, Suchý, Aliji (Ar Ajeti 75), González (Sio 87), Serey Dié, Elneny, F Frei, Calla (Hamoudi 84), Embolo. • The Swiss side avenged that defeat with a 4-0 home victory two weeks later, 17-year-old Breel Embolo, Derlis González, Shkelzen Gashi and Marek Suchý all on the scoresheet. It helped them finish second in Group B while Ludogorets ended fourth. • The teams also met the previous season when Basel came out on top in the UEFA Champions League play-offs, winning 4-2 away and 2-0 at home. Ludogorets have conceded more goals in the UEFA Champions League against Basel than against any other opponents – 11. • The line-ups for the first leg in Bulgaria on 21 August 2013 were: Ludogorets: V Stoyanov, Júnior Caiçara, Barthe, Moţi, Minev, Dani Abalo (Misidjan 63) Dyakov, Zlatinski, I Stoyanov, Marcelinho (Fábio Espinho 72), Bezjak (Michel 56). Basel: Sommer, Voser, Schär, Ajeti, Safari, Elneny, F Frei, Díaz, Stocker (Sauro 85), Salah (Delgado 88), Sio (T. Xhaka 65). • Despite falling behind early on, Ludogorets led 2-1 early in the second half – with Marcelinho on target – but were then swept aside as Basel scored three times in the final 31 minutes. Match background Ludogorets • The Bulgarian champions lost 3-1 at home to Paris Saint-Germain on matchday two after once again taking the lead. That was followed by successive defeats at the hands of Arsenal FC, losing 6-0 in London and 3-2 at home, when they had led 2-0. • After winning the Bulgarian title for the fifth season in a row, Ludogorets scored 15 goals in the qualifying campaign to book their return to the group stage. • They first beat FK Mladost Podgorica 2-0 at home and 3-0 away. Against FK Crvena zvezda they followed a 2-2 draw at home with a 4-2 extra-time win away. Wanderson scored three of the goals in the away leg. • In the play-offs a 2-0 home win over FC Viktoria Plzeň set up a 4-2 aggregate victory. Basel • On matchday two Basel went down to two early Arsenal goals in London and lost 3-0 away and 2-1 at home in the double header with Paris. • This is their seventh group stage campaign. Two seasons ago they lost three of their four away matches, succumbing 5-1 at Real Madrid CF before the Ludogorets defeat. • A 1-1 draw at Liverpool FC ensured they went through as Group B runners-up for their first appearance in the knockout rounds since 2011/12. In the round of 16 a 1-1 home draw with FC Porto was followed by a 4-0 away defeat. • Basel posted back-to-back victories against PFC CSKA Sofia in the 2009/10 UEFA Europa League group stage – winning 2-0 at the Natsionalen Stadion Vasil Levski on 22 October 2009 before a 3-1 home triumph. Coach and player links • Bulgarian Football Union president Borislav Mihaylov, who made 102 appearances for his country, played for FC Zürich in 1998/99 alongside Urs Fischer. • Vladislav Stoyanov and Yordan Minev played in Bulgaria's 1-0 defeat against Marek Suchý's Czech Republic in a

6 PFC Ludogorets 1945 - FC Basel 1893 Wednesday 23 November 2016 - 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Match press kit Natsionalen Stadion Vasil Levski, Sofia Head coach Georgi Dermendzhiev Date of birth: 4 January 1955 Nationality: Bulgarian Playing career: PFC Slavia Sofia, PFC Yantra Gabrovo, PFC Spartak Plovdiv Coaching career: PFC Spartak Plovdiv, OFC Sliven 2000, PFC Ludogorets Razgrad • As a defender, Dermendzhiev won the Bulgarian Cup with Slavia Sofia in 1980. While with the Whites, he lined up alongside some of the country's greatest players such as Andrey Zhelyzkov and Chavdar Tsvetkov. • Gained his first coaching experience in 1995/96 with Spartak Plovdiv, but could not keep the club in the top flight. Between 1999 and 2008, Dermendzhiev was assistant coach at PFC Litex Lovech, working under Ljupko Petrović, who led FK Crvena zvezda to victory in the 1991 European Champion Clubs' Cup final. • Of Petrović, Dermendzhiev once said: "I have worked under many coaches, but Petrović was the most impressive. He is unique, his work methodical. He knows what he wants and how to do it." • Took charge of Sliven for 2008/09, guiding the club to a 12th-place A PFG finish. Dermendzhiev arrived at Ludogorets in 2011, serving as assistant coach and then youth academy director before succeeding Stoicho Stoev on 1 August 2014. • Dermendzhiev had been in charge for just 51 top-flight matches throughout his career prior to taking the top job at Ludogorets, who qualified for the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time after a remarkable penalty shoot-out victory against FC Steaua Bucureşti in the 2014/15 play-offs. Stepped down in May 2015 having won the league but returned that November, adding another domestic championship in 2015/16 and engineering a return to the UEFA Champions League group stage at the start of the following campaign. Urs Fischer Date of birth: 20 February 1966 Nationality: Swiss Playing career: FC Zürich (twice), FC St Gallen Coaching career: FC Zürich (youth and U21s head coach, assistant and head first-team coach), FC Thun, FC Basel 1893 • Fischer spent his playing career as a defender for Zürich and St Gallen. Though he won four senior caps for Switzerland, his greatest achievement was arguably winning the Swiss Cup with Zürich in 2000. He made 545 Swiss top-flight appearances before retiring in 2003. • Fischer's first achievement as a coach came at Zürich, where he worked his way up from the youth ranks to the top job. He took over the first team in 2010 and steered them to the brink of the title in his maiden season. • Zürich finished only three points behind Basel in Fischer's debut campaign, a 2-2 draw against his future employers with three games remaining proving crucial. • Fischer and Zürich parted ways in 2012. He then had a nine-month break before joining Thun, whom he guided into the top half of the table despite a limited budget. • His success prompted Basel to come calling when seeking a replacement for Paulo Sousa in 2015. Fischer led Basel to the Swiss Super League title – and automatic UEFA Champions League qualification – in his first season in the dugout. He could not take Basel to a home final in the UEFA Europa League, though, eventual winners Sevilla knocking them out in the last 16.
