Previous meetings • The teams are facing off for the first time in what is Sassuolo's first encounter with Belgian opponents. • Genk's only previous games against Serie A opposition came in the 2002/03 UEFA Champions League group stage, where they lost 1-0 at home and drew 0-0 away against Roma. Form guide • Genk have won all three of their European home matches this term without conceding. • Sassuolo have drawn both of their continental away fixtures to date 1-1. They have won all three of their UEFA Europa League home games 3-0. • Genk have successfully negotiated both of their previous UEFA Europa League group stage campaigns. • Sassuolo and Konyaspor are the only clubs in the 2016/17 group stage who are in their debut European season. Links and trivia • The journey from Sassuolo to Genk is around 800km. The coaches • Genk head coach Peter Maes was appointed to the helm in 2015, having guided Lokeren to two Belgian Cup successes. The highest-profile campaigns of his playing days were spent as second-choice goalkeeper at Anderlecht. • Eusebio Di Francesco's career high as a player was winning the Scudetto with Roma in 2000/01. The 12-times capped midfielder has since worked wonders at Sassuolo, steering an attack-minded team from Serie B into Europe. 3 KRC Genk - US Sassuolo Calcio Thursday 29 September 2016 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit KRC Genk Arena, Genk Team facts KRC Genk Formed: 1988 Nickname: Genkies UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • none Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 3 (2011) Belgian Cup: 4 (2013) Ten-year record (UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2015/16: did not take part in UEFA competition 2014/15: did not take part in UEFA competition 2013/14: round of 32 2012/13: round of 32 2011/12: UEFA Champions League group stage 2010/11: play-offs 2009/10: play-offs 2008/09: did not take part in UEFA competition 2007/08: UEFA Champions League second qualifying round 2006/07: did not take part in UEFA competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 5-0: Genk v MSV Duisburg 01/10/98, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup first round second leg • Biggest away win 0-5: B36 Tórshavn v Genk 21/06/97, UEFA Intertoto Cup group stage • Heaviest home defeat 2-5: Genk v SV Werder Bremen 09/11/00, UEFA Cup second round second leg 0-3: Genk v FC Porto 19/08/10, UEFA Europa League play-offs first leg • Heaviest away defeat 7-0: Valencia CF v Genk 23/11/11, UEFA Champions League group stage UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 5-2: Genk v FH Hafnarfjördur 29/08/13, play-off second leg 3-0: Genk v Videoton FC 20/09/12, group stage 3-0: Genk v FHK Liepājas Metalurgs 25/08/05, second qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 1-5: FC Inter Turku v Genk 29/07/10, third qualifying round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 2-5: Genk v SV Werder Bremen (see above) 0-3: Genk v FC Porto (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 4-1: SV Werder Bremen v Genk 24/10/00, second round first leg 4 KRC Genk - US Sassuolo Calcio Thursday 29 September 2016 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit KRC Genk Arena, Genk US Sassuolo Calcio Formed: 1922 Nickname: Neroverdi (The Black and Greens) 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) 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 2006/07: did not take part in UEFA club competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 3-0: Sassuolo v Athletic Club 15/09/16, UEFA Europa League group stage 3-0: Sassuolo v FK Crvena zvezda 18/08/16, UEFA Europa League play-off first leg 3-0: Sassuolo v FC Luzern 04/08/16, UEFA Europa League third qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win N/A • Heaviest home defeat N/A • Heaviest away defeat N/A UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 3-0: Sassuolo v Athletic Club (see above) 3-0: Sassuolo v FK Crvena zvezda (see above) 3-0: Sassuolo v FC Luzern (see above) • Biggest away win N/A • Heaviest home defeat N/A • Heaviest away defeat N/A 5 KRC Genk - US Sassuolo Calcio Thursday 29 September 2016 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit KRC Genk Arena, Genk Squad list KRC Genk Current season All-time QUAL UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
