Previous meetings • The sides have never met before. • Athletic's record in eight games against German sides is W2 D2 L4 (W1 D2 L1 in Bilbao – W1 D0 L3 in Germany). Form guide • Athletic have won both of their European home games this season without conceding. • Losing finalists in 2012, Athletic made it through to the round of 32 in their first two UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League group stage campaigns, but fell short in their most recent one, in 2012/13. • This is Augsburg's first European game; founded in 1907, they secured a fifth-placed finish in Germany last season to qualify directly for the UEFA Europa League group stage. They are the only side who are making their continental debut on matchday one. Trivia and links • The journey from Augsburg to Bilbao is just over 1,200km. • Augsburg's Swiss goalkeeper Marwin Hitz celebrates his 28th birthday the day after the Athletic game. • Augsburg goalkeeper Alexander Manninger was briefly on the books of a Spanish club, RCD Espanyol, in 2002. • Other Augsburg players with Spanish experience are: Daniel Opare (Real Madrid Castilla), Piotr Trochowski (Sevilla FC). The coaches • Ernesto Valverde took charge at Athletic for a second time in 2013. As a player, he spent the most stable period of his career in Bilbao, and returned to the club after retiring, later taking charge from 2003-05. Since then, he has won three Greek titles with Olympiacos FC and coached Villarreal CF and Valencia FC. • Ausgburg coach Markus Weinzierl's playing career peaked when he spent a season with the first-team squad at FC Bayern München, though he never played a senior game. Augsburg hired him as coach in 2012 following a spell at SSV Jahn Regensburg, and he thrived, last season's fifth-place finish a club best. 3 Athletic Club - FC Augsburg Thursday 17 September 2015 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Estadio de San Mamés, Bilbao Team facts Athletic Club Formed: 1898 Nickname: Los Leones (The Lions) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League: (1977), (2012) Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 8 (1984) Spanish Cup: 23 (1984) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2013/14: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2012/13: group stage 2011/12: runners-up 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2009/10: round of 32 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: UEFA Intertoto Cup second round Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 6-0: Athletic v HJK Helsinki 23/08/12, UEFA Europa League play-off first leg • Biggest away win 1-7: R.
