MATCH BACKGROUND Former winners clash in Rotterdam The Group A match, between teams holding down the two top places, also features two of the recent winners of the UEFA Cup. won the 2002 UEFA Cup with a win over German opposition in BV by 3-2 in the final. FC Schalke 04 were the last winners of the UEFA Cup in 1997 under the former two-legged final format, with their success on penalties against FC Internazionale Milano.

Strong at home Although Feyenoord have met German teams on 16 occasions in various ties since the 1969/70 season, this will be the first time that they will have met the club from . Feyenoord have been impressive at home with ten victories against German clubs in UEFA club competitions, while the other six matches at De Kuip stadium have ended in four draws and two defeats, those losses coming against VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach (1986/87 UEFA Cup second round) and VfB Stuttgart (1998/99 UEFA Cup first round). Overall Feyenoord have played 31 games against German clubs with twelve wins, ten draws and nine defeats. Feyenoord have scored 48 goals and conceded 49.

Final success Feyenoord’s most recent meeting with a German club provided the club with one of its many trophies. The 3-2 win against Dortmund was played conveniently at Rotterdam, and two goals from Pierre van Hooijdonk and a third from Jon Dahl Tomasson gave Feyenoord a famous win.

Limited experience Schalke have only met one Dutch team in UEFA club competitions, but it was also part of a significant success. On their way to the UEFA Cup success in 1997, Schalke beat Roda JC in their opening tie. The Germans won the first leg at home 3-0 with (8 minutes), Youri Mulder (14) and Ingo Anderbrügge (74) on target, and they were 2-0 ahead in Kerkrade until Roda found some late form and hit back to claim a 2-2 draw. Wilmots, who scored the first goal against Roda, would score the last – the final penalty to win the final.

DOMESTIC FORMGUIDE

Faltering Feyenoord miss out (Sunday, 28 November 2004) Three of the Group A sides in UEFA Cup action this week warmed up with domestic victories over the weekend. FC Schalke 04, FC 1893 and Ferencvárosi TC are in good spirits, but Feyenoord threw away a two-goal lead to draw. uefa.com rounds up the latest news:

Feyenoord Feyenoord had to settle for a point after hosts came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw. Thomas Buffel and Dirk Kuijt had scored for the Rotterdam club before Giorgios Samaras and Ugur Yildirim instigated the fightback. Goalkeeper Patrick Lodewijks started the game while Pascal Bosschaart returned from suspension. Ahead of Wednesday's visit of Schalke, Feyenoord are faced with mounting injury problems. In addition to long-term absentees Sebastián Pardo, Ramon van Haaren and Leonardo, Salomon Kalou, Karim Saidi (both hamstring) and Shinji Ono (ankle) are all doubtful.

Schalke Schalke defeated DSC Arminia Bielefeld 2-1 to retain second place in the Bundesliga. Levan Kobiashvili and Ailton turned the match Schalke's way after Rüdiger Kauf had given the visitors the lead. Darío Rodríguez, Fabian Lamotte, Thomas Kläsener, Niels Oude-Kamphuis and Gustavo Varela all missed out through injury, although Ralf Rangnick's side have already secured their place in the UEFA Cup's last 32.

Basel Basel bounced back from three successive defeats to beat FC St. Gallen 1-0 at home on Sunday, a result which kept them three points ahead of Neuchâtel Xamax FC at the top of the Swiss Football League. Argentinian striker César Carignano scored the only goal - his second in four days after his strike against Heart of Midlothian FC last week.

Ferencváros Hungarian champions Ferencváros stormed to a 4-0 home victory against Honvéd FC to retain their three-point advantage at the head of the First Division. Gábor Zavadszky opened the scoring before Gábor Gyepes made it two from the penalty spot. Thomas Sowunmi and Robert Vagner registered in the second half to put the bottom team in Group A in good spirits ahead of their crucial game against fellow strugglers Basel.

Hearts Hearts followed their midweek win in Switzerland with a 3-2 domestic defeat by Rangers FC at Ibrox. Paul Hartley and Patrick Kisnorbo returned from suspension and it was Hartley who broke the deadlock from the penalty spot. Mark de Vries also found the net for the Edinburgh club, who sit out this week's UEFA Cup programme.
