Previous meetings • Trabzonspor have never previously faced a Swiss club in UEFA competition. • Basel's experience of Turkish opposition is limited to just three games. Two of those were in Turkey, both of which they won – 5-2 against Antalyaspor in the 1996 UEFA Intertoto Cup and 2-0 at Malatyaspor in the 2003/04 UEFA Cup first round. Form guide Trabzonspor • A fourth-placed finish in the 2018/19 Turkish Süper Lig restored European football to Trabzonspor after four years – the club's longest absence from the continental stage since a five-year gap from 1998/99 to 2003/04. • This season the Black Sea club beat Sparta Praha in the third qualifying round (2-2 a, 2-1 h) before overcoming AEK Athens on away goals in the play-offs (3-1 a, 0-2 h). Their two previous UEFA Europa League group stage campaigns, in 2013/14 and 2014/15, both proved productive before they fell to heavyweight Italian opposition in the round of 32 – respectively Juventus (0-2 a, 0-2 h) and Napoli (0-4 h, 0-1 a). • Trabzonspor have a positive home record in the UEFA Europa League group stage of W4 D1 L1, with wins in each of the last two games. Their sole defeat, 0-1 against Legia Warszawa in 2014/15, did however occur on matchday two. Basel • Having won the Swiss Super League eight seasons running from 2009/10 to 2016/17, Basel have finished second to Young Boys in each of the past two campaigns. Last season they missed out on European group stage football for the first time in 15 years, losing to PAOK in the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round and Apollon Limassol in the UEFA Europa League play-offs. • This season they again missed out on the UEFA Champions League proper, an impressive away-goals success against PSV Eindhoven in the second qualifying round preceding a surprise 5-2 aggregate defeat to Austrian neighbours LASK. That meant a transfer to the UEFA Europa League group stage, where they have competed three times previously, most recently in 2015/16, when they went on to reach the round of 16. • The 2012/13 semi-finalists have lost four of their last five European away games, including both this season, but they won all three of their group fixtures outside Switzerland in 2015/16 and were winners on the road three times out of four in the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League, prevailing at CSKA Moskva (2-0), Benfica (2-0) and Manchester City (2-1) after a matchday one defeat at Manchester United (0-3). Links and trivia • Donis Avdijaj (Trabzonspor) and Edon Zhegrova (Basel) both play international football for Kosovo. • Trabzonspor's João Pereira and Basel's Ricky van Wolfswinkel were team-mates at Sporting CP in 2011/12. • Basel's Swiss-born centre-back Eray Cömert is of Turkish descent. • Trabzonspor's John Obi Mikel was a member of the Chelsea side beaten home and away by Basel in the 2013/14 UEFA Champions League group stage. • This is Basel's 50th match in the UEFA Europa League, qualifying phase included. The coaches • A former Turkish international midfielder with 36 caps, Ünal Karaman won more than half of those – plus two Turkish Cups – while playing for Trabzonspor from 1990–99. After ending his playing days at Ankaragücü, he joined the Turkish federation's coaching staff and was in charge of the Under-21 side before moving into club football with home- town team Konyaspor. Three years as assistant back at Trabzonspor under Şenol Güneş preceded further roles elsewhere before he returned to the Black Sea club as head coach in May 2018. • A former Swiss international midfielder who won 55 caps between 1982 and his first and last major tournament, EURO '96, Marcel Koller spent his entire club career with Grasshoppers from his native Zurich, winning seven league titles and five domestic cups. Early Swiss title successes as a coach with St Gallen and Grasshoppers were followed by spells in Germany with Köln and Bochum before he took charge of Austria in 2011, eventually leading them to 3 Trabzonspor AŞ - FC Basel 1893 Thursday 3 October 2019 - 21.00CET (22.00 local time) Match press kit Senol Gunes Spor Kompleksi Yeni Stadyum, Trabzon UEFA EURO 2016. He became Basel's head coach in August 2018, winning the Swiss Cup in his debut campaign. 4 Trabzonspor AŞ - FC Basel 1893 Thursday 3 October 2019 - 21.00CET (22.00 local time) Match press kit Senol Gunes Spor Kompleksi Yeni Stadyum, Trabzon Team facts Trabzonspor AŞ Formed: 1967 Nickname: Karadeniz Fırtınası (Black Sea Storm) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League titles: 6 (1984) Turkish Cup: 8 (2010) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2018/19: did not take part in UEFA competition 2017/18: did not take part in UEFA competition 2016/17: did not take part in UEFA competition 2015/16: third qualifying round 2014/15: round of 32 2013/14: round of 32 2012/13: play-offs 2011/12: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2010/11: play-offs 2009/10: play-offs Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 6-0: Trabzonspor v Vllaznia 08/07/07, UEFA Intertoto Cup second round first leg • Biggest away win 0-4: Vllaznia v Trabzonspor 14/07/07, UEFA Intertoto Cup second round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-4: Trabzonspor v Napoli 19/02/15, UEFA Europa League round of 32 first leg • Heaviest away defeat 7-2: Barcelona v Trabzonspor 03/10/90, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup first round second leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 4-1 twice, most recently v Slovan Bratislava 20/08/96, qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 0-3: Derry City v Trabzonspor 25/07/13, second qualifying round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-4: Trabzonspor v Napoli (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 5-1: Wisła Kraków v Trabzonspor 11/08/98, second qualifying round first leg FC Basel 1893 Formed: 1893 Nickname: Bebbi (local slang for Basel natives) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) 5 Trabzonspor AŞ - FC Basel 1893 Thursday 3 October 2019 - 21.00CET (22.00 local time) Match press kit Senol Gunes Spor Kompleksi Yeni Stadyum, Trabzon League title: 20 (2017) Swiss Cup: 13 (2019) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2018/19: play-offs (having transferred from UEFA Champions League second qualifying round) 2017/18: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2016/17: UEFA Champions League group stage 2015/16: round of 16 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2014/15: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2013/14: quarter-finals (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2012/13: semi-finals (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2011/12: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2010/11: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2009/10: group stage Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 7-0: Basel v Folgore 24/08/00, UEFA Cup qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 0-5: Fram Reykjavík v Basel 18/09/73, European Champion Clubs' Cup first round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-5: Basel v Barcelona 22/10/08, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 7-0: Bayern München v Basel 13/03/12, UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 7-0: Basel v Folgore (see above) • Biggest away win 1-5: Folgore v Basel 10/08/00, qualifying round first leg 0-4: Mattersburg v Basel 30/08/07, second qualifying round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-3: Basel v Sporting CP 21/02/08, round of 32 second leg • Heaviest away defeat 5-0 (aet): Valencia v Basel 11/04/14, quarter-final second leg 6 Trabzonspor AŞ - FC Basel 1893 Thursday 3 October 2019 - 21.00CET (22.00 local time) Match press kit Senol Gunes Spor Kompleksi Yeni Stadyum, Trabzon Squad list Trabzonspor AŞ Current season All-time QUAL UEL League UEL UEFA No.
