They were runners-up to Atalanta in the group phase. Previous meetings • The two clubs have never met in UEFA competition. • CSKA's record against French clubs in Europe is W4 D3 L5, with two wins, two draws and two defeats in Russia. They have not defeated French opposition at home in three attempts since beating Auxerre 4-0 in the quarter-final first leg of the 2004/05 UEFA Cup – a competition they went on to win. • The Army Men's heaviest European defeat was against Ligue 1 opponents, Marseille overwhelming them 6-0 in the inaugural UEFA Champions League group stage in 1992/93 on the club's first visit to France. • Lyon have yet to win in three trips to Russia – all at various stages of the UEFA Champions League. Having drawn 1-1 away to Spartak Moskva (2000/01 second group stage) and Rubin Kazan (2011/12 play-offs), they lost 3-1 to Zenit on their most recent visit, in the 2015/16 group stage, also losing the return at home (0-2). Form guide • CSKA lost their opening two home games in this season's UEFA Champions League group stage – 1-4 against Manchester United, 0-2 against Basel – before defeating Benfica 2-0 in Moscow on matchday five and then prevailing 1-0 against Crvena zvezda to win their round of 32 tie by the same aggregate score. • That victory over Crvena zvezda was the Russian side's first in six home matches in springtime European competition (D3 L2); they have scored four goals over that stretch while conceding five. It was also their first victory in four UEFA Europa League home fixtures, play-offs included (D1 L2). • The Moscow side's last European knockout phase involvement was a UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie with Real Madrid in 2011/12, which they lost 5-2 on aggregate (1-1 home, 1-4 away). Their only previous appearance in the UEFA Europa League round of 16 dates back to 2010/11, when they were defeated home (0-1) and away (1-2) by eventual winners Porto. • CSKA were runners-up to city rivals Spartak Moskva in last season's Russian Premier League. To reach the UEFA Champions League group stage they came through two qualifying rounds, defeating both AEK Athens and Young Boys 3-0 on aggregate. • Lyon conceded one goal in each of their group stage away matches (W1 D1 L1) before winning 1-0 at Villarreal in the round of 32 – their first clean sheet in eight European away fixtures (W3 D1 L4). • The win at Villarreal ended a run of three successive UEFA Europa League knockout defeats on the road. It was also only Lyon's second win in 18 away games during the spring knockout phase of European competition (D3 L13). • This is Lyon's third appearance in the UEFA Europa League round of 16. Their previous two ties at this stage both ended in victory, although they lost both away games 2-1 – against Viktoria Plzeň in 2013/14 (4-1 home) and Roma in 2016/17 (4-2 home). • Lyon were UEFA Europa League semi-finalists last season, when they lost to Ajax having transferred from the UEFA Champions League group stage. They ensured a return to this season's UEFA Europa League group stage by finishing fourth in Ligue 1. Links and trivia • Lyon are the only team in this season's round of 16 who were also present at the same stage 12 months ago. They are also the only French club ever to have reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League, having done so twice. • CSKA goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev has played every minute of his team's European campaign this season, keeping seven clean sheets in 12 matches. Team-mate Mario Fernandes has also been ever-present. • Akinfeev's counterpart, Anthony Lopes, has likewise been on the field for every minute of Lyon's eight-match UEFA Europa League journey, conceding just five goals and never more than one in a game. 4 PFC CSKA Moskva - Olympique Lyonnais Thursday 8 March 2018 - 19.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit CSKA Arena, Moscow • Lyon's Memphis Depay played twice against CSKA for Manchester United in the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League group stage: a 1-1 away draw in Khimki, and a 1-0 home win in Manchester. • This season's UEFA Europa League final, on 16 May 2018, will be staged in Lyon's home stadium. • Lyon are one of only four teams in the UEFA Europa League round of 16 to have never played in a European final, the others being RB Leipzig, Viktoria Plzeň and Lokomotiv Moskva. • Lyon's Marçal is available after being suspended for the round of 32 second leg. • CSKA's Aleksandr Golovin returns from a one-match ban, but team-mate Vasili Berezutski serves a suspension for this encounter.
