Previous meetings • The teams' last fixture in Brussels brought Anderlecht's joint biggest European home defeat and Paris' joint biggest away victory. Zlatan Ibrahimović scored four times in Paris' 5-0 victory, with Edinson Cavani getting the other. • The teams at the Constant Vanden Stock on 23 October 2013 were: Anderlecht: Kaminski, Gillet, Mbemba, Nuytinck, N'Sakala, Praet (Milivojević 72), Kouyaté, Kljestan, Suárez (Acheampong 46), Tielemans, Mitrović (Cyriac 72). Paris: Sirigu, Van der Wiel, Marquinhos, Alex (Camara 56), Maxwell, Motta, Matuidi (Rabiot 64), Verratti, Lavezzi (Lucas 71), Cavani, Ibrahimović. • Ibrahimović also got the Paris goal in a 1-1 draw at the Parc des Princes on 5 November 2013; Demy De Zeeuw had given Anderlecht the lead, the visitors ending with ten men after Sacha Kljestan collected a second yellow card in the 82nd minute. • The game in Belgium was the first meeting between the teams for 21 years. They played out two draws when facing each other in the 1992/93 UEFA Cup third round, a 0-0 stalemate in Paris and 1-1 result in Brussels taking Paris through on away goals. Match background Anderlecht • The Belgian champions have lost each of their Group B matches 3-0, away to FC Bayern München on matchday one and then against Celtic FC in Brussels last time out. • Anderlecht have won just one of their last eight home games in the UEFA Champions League, group stage to final, although that 2-0 success against Galatasaray AŞ in November 2014, their last fixture in the competition in Brussels before the Celtic match, did end a six-match home losing run. • The Celtic defeat was Anderlecht's second in their last eight home matches in European competition (W5 D1), the Brussels side also going down 3-2 against AS Saint-Étienne on matchday six of last season's UEFA Europa League. • Anderlecht also drew 1-1 at St-Étienne last season. Overall their record against French clubs is W7 D10 L5; at home it is W4 D4 L3. • The Belgian club are without a win in their last four fixtures at home to Ligue 1 visitors (D1 L3), since a 2-1 UEFA Cup defeat of FC Girondins de Bordeaux in February 2008. • In 2016/17, Anderlecht crashed out to FC Rostov in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. Moving into the UEFA Europa League, they went all the way to the last eight – their first European quarter-final since losing to FC Internazionale Milano in the 1996/97 UEFA Cup – eventually bowing out to Manchester United FC (1-1 home, 1-2 away aet). • Anderlecht are appearing in the UEFA Champions League group stage for the 12th time in total. They qualified automatically after landing a 34th Belgian title last term. Paris • Paris have lost only one of their eight games against Belgian opponents, going down 3-0 at KSV Waterschei in the 1982/83 European Cup Winners' Cup quarter-final second leg (2-3 aggregate). • The 2013 victory at Anderlecht is Paris' only away success against a Belgian club (D2 L1). • Paris earned their biggest ever European win against Belgian opponents, defeating KAA Gent 7-1 at home in a 2001 Intertoto Cup semi-final after a 0-0 draw away. • Having won 5-0 at Celtic on matchday one, Paris were 3-0 victors at home to Bayern in their last outing. • The Parisians have won six of their last ten away fixtures in the competition, losing three. Matchday one was their first clean sheet in seven away matches. • Emery's charges won at PFC Ludogorets Razgrad (3-1) and FC Basel 1893 (2-1) in last year's group stage, also drawing at Arsenal FC (2-2).
