Previous meetings • The sides are meeting for the first time. • In their only past meeting with Portuguese opponents, Konyaspor took on Braga in last season's group stage; they drew 1-1 at home and lost 3-1 in Portugal – that draw remains their only European game that did not end in defeat. • Vitória SC have lost all three of their previous games against Turkish sides, conceding three goals in each fixture. Form guide • A 1-0 loss at Marseille on matchday one extended Konyaspor's wait for a first UEFA competition win to seven games: D1 L6. They have scored only two European goals, both against a Portuguese opponent, Braga – and never more than one in a single match. • Held 1-1 in Guimaraes by Salzburg on matchday one, Vitória SC are without a win in eight European matches: D3 L5. • Vitória SC have gone ten games (D3 L7) without a UEFA away success since a 1-0 UEFA Cup first round triumph at Wisła Kraków on 29 September 2005. • Winners of the 2016/17 Turkish Cup, Konyaspor made their European competition debut in last year's UEFA Europa League group stage. • Fourth in the Liga and runners-up in the Portuguese Cup last season, Vitória SC are participating in their third UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League group stage. They are yet to make it through. Links and trivia • The journey from Guimaraes to Konya is around 3,500km. • Vitória SC's Uruguayan forward David Texeira played club football in Turkey with Sivasspor (2016). • This is Vitória SC's 60th UEFA game – and Konyaspor's eighth. The coaches • Konyaspor boss Mustafa Reşit Akçay is back in the group stage for a third time having coached Trabzonspor and Osmanlıspor in past editions. A youth specialist, he went unbeaten in his first 19 games in UEFA competition (W15 D4). • Vitória SC coach since summer 2016, Pedro Martins previously led Marítimo (2012/13) and Rio Ave (2014/15) in this competition's group stage. A former Guimarães midfielder, he was capped once during his time at Sporting CP (1995– 98). 3 Konyaspor - Vitória SC Thursday 28 September 2017 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Konya Büyükşehir Belediyesi Stadyumu, Konya Team facts Konyaspor Formed: 1981 Nickname: Anadolu Kartalı (Anatolian Eagle) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) Turkish Cup: 1 (2017) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2016/17: group stage 2015/16: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2014/15: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2013/14: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2011/12: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2009/10: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2008/09: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2007/08: did not take part in UEFA club competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 2-1: Konyaspor 2-1 Vitória SC 28/09/17, UEFA Europa League group stage • Biggest away win none • Heaviest home defeat 0-1 twice, most recently v Gent 08/12/16, UEFA Europa League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 4-0: Shakhtar v Konyaspor 24/11/16, UEFA Europa League group stage UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 2-1: Konyaspor 2-1 Vitória SC (see above) • Biggest away win none • Heaviest home defeat 0-1 twice, most recently v Gent (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 4-0: Shakhtar v Konyaspor (see above) Vitória SC Formed: 1922 Nickname: Conquistadores (Conquerors) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • none Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) Portuguese Cup: 1 (2013) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2016/17: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2015/16: third qualifying round 2014/15: did not take part in UEFA club competition 4 Konyaspor - Vitória SC Thursday 28 September 2017 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Konya Büyükşehir Belediyesi Stadyumu, Konya 2013/14: group stage 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2011/12: play-offs 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2009/10: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2008/09: first round (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2007/08: did not take part in UEFA club competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 4-0: Vitória SC v Rijeka 19/09/13, UEFA Europa League group stage • Biggest away win 0-1: Wisła Kraków v Vitória SC 29/09/95, UEFA Cup first round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-4 on three occasions, most recently v Atlético Madrid 25/08/12, UEFA Europa League play-offs second leg • Heaviest away defeat 5-0: Aston Villa v Vitória SC 28/09/1983, UEFA Cup first round second leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 4-0: Vitória SC v Rijeka (see above) • Biggest away win 0-1: Wisła Kraków v Vitória SC (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 0-4 on three occasions, most recently v Atlético (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 5-0: Aston Villa v Vitória SC (see above) 5 Konyaspor - Vitória SC Thursday 28 September 2017 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Konya Büyükşehir Belediyesi Stadyumu, Konya Squad list Konyaspor Current season All-time UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
