Previous meetings • The teams drew 0-0 in Baku on matchday one in what was PAOK's first encounter with Azerbaijani opponents. • Qäbälä eliminated PAOK's domestic rivals Panathinaikos FC on away goals in this season's UEFA Europa League play-offs, drawing 0-0 at home and 2-2 in Athens. • Oddly, all five games between Azeri and Greek clubs in UEFA competition have ended in draws – in addition to the aforementioned Qäbälä fixtures, İnter Bakı PİK and Asteras Tripolis FC drew 1-1 home and away in the 2012/13 UEFA Europa League second qualifying round. Asteras went through on penalties. Form guide • PAOK are unbeaten in five European home games: three wins in qualifying followed by two draws in Group C. • Qäbälä are yet to win in seven European away trips (D2 L5), with their 4-0 loss at Dortmund on matchday four their worst European result to date. • PAOK have featured in the UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League group stage in five previous campaigns – they have made it to the knockout phase three times. • Qäbälä are making their UEFA group stage debut this season; this is only their second European campaign. Trivia and links • The journey from Qabala to Salonika is around 2,100km. • Qäbälä and Rosenborg BK are the only clubs who have made it all the way from the first qualifying round to the group stage in this season's competition. • PAOK's 2-1 loss at Krasnodar on matchday four was their 150th UEFA competition game: their record in those matches is W54 D47 L49. • PAOK defender Giorgos Tzavellas turns 28 on the day of the Qäbälä game; team-mate Garry Rodrigues is 25 the following day. • PAOK's Dimitar Berbatov needs one more goal to match Hristo Stoichkov's Bulgarian record of 35 in UEFA club competition. The coaches • PAOK have been led by former Croatia defender Igor Tudor since June. Now 37, he won two league titles with Juventus and began his coaching career with HNK Hajduk Split – the club where he started and ended his playing days – winning the Croatian Cup in 2013. • Qäbälä's Ukrainian coach Roman Hrygorchuk made his name in Latvia, where he won three domestic titles with FK Ventspils from 2006 to 2008. He took charge at Qäbälä in December 2014 after a four-year spell at FC Chornomorets Odesa. 3 PAOK FC - Qäbälä FK Thursday 26 November 2015 - 21.05CET (22.05 local time) Match press kit Stadio Toumba, Salonika Team facts PAOK FC Formed: 1926 Nickname: Dikefalos tou Vora (Two-Headed Eagle of the North) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • none Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 2 (1985) Greek Cup: 4 (2003) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: group stage 2013/14: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2012/13: play-offs 2011/12: round of 32 2010/11: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 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: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2005/06: group stage Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 6-0: PAOK v NK Lokomotiva Zagreb 23/07/15, UEFA Europa League second qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 0-7: FC Lokomotivi Tbilisi v PAOK 16/09/99, UEFA Cup first round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-3 on three occasions, most recently v Udinese Calcio 23/02/12, UEFA Europa League round of 32 second leg • Heaviest away defeat 6-1: FC Barcelona v PAOK 1/10/75, UEFA Cup first round second leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 6-0: PAOK v NK Lokomotiva Zagreb (see above) • Biggest away win 0-7: FC Lokomotivi Tbilisi v PAOK (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 0-3 twice, most recently v Udinese Calcio (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 6-1: FC Barcelona v PAOK (see above) Qäbälä FK Formed: 2005 Nickname: Radarlar (The Radars) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) None Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: first qualifying round 4 PAOK FC - Qäbälä FK Thursday 26 November 2015 - 21.05CET (22.05 local time) Match press kit Stadio Toumba, Salonika 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 2006/07: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2005/06: did not take part in UEFA club competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 2-0: Qäbälä v FK Čukarički 23/07/15, UEFA Europa League second qualifying round second leg 2-0: Qäbälä v FC Dinamo Tbilisi 02/07/15, UEFA Europa League first qualifying round first leg • Biggest away win N/A • Heaviest home defeat 1-3: Qäbälä v Borussia Dortmund 22/10/15, UEFA Europa League group stage 0-2: Qäbälä v NK Široki Brijeg 03/07/14, UEFA Europa League first qualifying round first leg • Heaviest away defeat 4-0: Borussia Dortmund v Qäbälä 05/11/15, UEFA Europa League group stage UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 2-0: Qäbälä v FK Čukarički (see above) 2-0: Qäbälä v FC Dinamo Tbilisi (see above) • Biggest away win N/A • Heaviest home defeat 1-3: Qäbälä v Borussia Dortmund (aee above) 0-2: Qäbälä v NK Široki Brijeg (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 4-0: Borussia Dortmund v Qäbälä (see above) 5 PAOK FC - Qäbälä FK Thursday 26 November 2015 - 21.05CET (22.05 local time) Match press kit Stadio Toumba, Salonika Squad list PAOK FC Current season All-time QUAL UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
