Previous meetings • The sides are meeting for the first time in UEFA competition and this is Ludogorets' first encounter with Dutch opposition. • PSV have played four games against Bulgarian sides with the record W3 D1 L0 (W1 D1 L0 at home). However, Ludogorets can take some comfort in the fact that PSV scored just three goals in total across those four encounters, though they have yet to concede a goal against a Bulgarian side. Match background • PSV are the only side to have competed in every edition of the UEFA Europa League group stage since the competition's inception in 2009/10, missing out on the round of 32 for the first time last season when they finished behind FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk and SSC Napoli in Group F. • PSV have won just one of their last four European home games, that run also including two draws and a defeat. However they have never lost their first home game in a UEFA Europa League group stage campaign, recording three wins and a draw. • Ludogorets are making their first appearance in a UEFA competition group stage in what is only their second European campaign. They were only promoted to the Bulgarian top flight for the first time at the end of the 2010/11 season. • Ludogorets have lost three of their four European away games to date, with their only victory a 1-0 at FK Partizan in this season's UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. This will be their first game in the UEFA Europa League. Team facts • Ludogorets are one of nine domestic champions competing in this season's group stage along with NK Maribor (Slovenia), FC Sheriff (Moldova), Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC (Israel), Legia Warszawa (Poland), FC Shakhter Karagandy (Kazakhstan), APOEL FC (Cyprus), GNK Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia) and IF Elfsborg (Sweden). • PSV (1978) are one of five clubs in this season's group stage to have won this competition before along with Valencia CF (2004), Eintracht Frankfurt (1980) and two-time winners Sevilla FC (2006, 2007) and Tottenham Hotspur FC (1972, 1984). PSV are the only side involved on matchday one to have also won the European Champion Clubs' Cup, in 1988. • PSV boast Bulgarian talent in the form of defender Stanislav Manolev, who made his name with PFC Litex Lovech before heading for the Netherlands in 2009. He has won domestic cups in both countries; Bulgaria in 2008 and 2009, and the Netherlands in 2012. • Dutch winger Virgil Misidjan joined Ludogorets from Willem II in the summer. Coach information • Hired in the summer of 2013 to coach the club he served so successfully as a player, Phillip Cocu had spent several years preparing, working with the senior national team and PSV's youth teams and briefly taking caretaker command of the PSV first XI in 2012. Capped 101 times for the Netherlands, he won four Dutch titles with PSV either side of a lengthy spell at FC Barcelona, peaking with the 1998/99 Liga triumph. • Brought in to replace Ivaylo Petev as Ludogorets coach in July, Stoycho Stoev was a stylish forward with PFC Lokomotiv Sofia in the 1980s, though he maintained a European outlook and classed Arrigo Sacchi as his coaching idol. After taking charge of a number of smaller Bulgarian clubs, the cool-headed coach led champions Ludogorets – his local side - to their first UEFA Europa League group stage campaign after defeat by FC Basel 1893 in the UEFA Champions League play-offs. 3 PSV Eindhoven - PFC Ludogorets Razgrad Thursday 19 September 2013 - 19.00CET, (19.00 local time) Match press kit PSV Stadion, Eindhoven Team facts PSV Eindhoven Formed: 1913 Nickname: Boeren (Farmers) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • European Champion Clubs' Cup: 1988 • UEFA Cup: 1978 • UEFA Super Cup: (1989) • European/South American Cup: (1988) Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 21 (2008) Dutch Cup: 9 (2012) Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2012/13: group stage 2011/12: round of 16 2010/11: quarter-finals 2009/10: round of 32 2008/09: UEFA Champions League group stage 2007/08: quarter-finals (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2006/07: UEFA Champions League quarter-finals 2005/06: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2004/05: UEFA Champions League semi-finals 2003/04: quarter-finals (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 10-0: PSV v Ards FC 18/09/74, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup first round first leg • Biggest away win 0-5: FK Zeta v PSV 23/08/12, UEFA Europa League play-off first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-4: PSV v Arsenal FC 25/09/02, UEFA Champions League first group stage • Heaviest away defeat 6-0: AS Saint-Étienne v PSV 07/11/1979, UEFA Cup second round second leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 9-0: PSV v FK Zeta 30/08/12, play-off second leg • Biggest away win 0-5: FK Zeta v PSV (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 0-2 three times, most recently v PFC Ludogorets Razgrad 19/09/13, group stage • Heaviest away defeat 6-0: AS Saint-Étienne v PSV (see above) FC Ludogorets Razgrad Formed: 1945 Nickname: The Eagles from Razgrad UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None 4 PSV Eindhoven - PFC Ludogorets Razgrad Thursday 19 September 2013 - 19.00CET, (19.00 local time) Match press kit PSV Stadion, Eindhoven Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) Bulgarian league title: 2 (2013) Bulgarian Cup: 1 (2012) Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2012/13: UEFA Champions League second qualifying round 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 2004/05: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2003/04: did not take part in UEFA club competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 3-0: Ludogorets v GNK Dinamo Zagreb 03/10/13, UEFA Europa League group stage 3-0: Ludogorets v ŠK Slovan Bratislava 24/07/13, UEFA Champions League second qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 0-2: PSV Eindhoven v Ludogorets 19/09/13, UEFA Europa League group stage • Heaviest home defeat 2-4: Ludogorets v Basel 21/08/13, UEFA Champions League play-off first leg • Heaviest away defeat 3-2: GNK Dinamo Zagreb v Ludogorets 25/07/12, UEFA Champions League second qualifying round second leg 2-1: ŠK Slovan Bratislava v Ludogorets 17/07/13, UEFA Champions League second qualifying round first leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 3-0: Ludogorets v GNK Dinamo Zagreb (see above) • Biggest away win 0-2: PSV Eindhoven v Ludogorets (see above) • Heaviest home defeat N/A • Heaviest away defeat N/A 5 PSV Eindhoven - PFC Ludogorets Razgrad Thursday 19 September 2013 - 19.00CET, (19.00 local time) Match press kit PSV Stadion, Eindhoven Squad list PSV Eindhoven Current season All-time UCL Tournament League Tournament UEFA No. Player Nat.
