Previous meetings • José Sosa scored the only goal as Beşiktaş beat Skënderbeu in Albania on matchday one. It was Skënderbeu's first encounter with Turkish opponents. • Beşiktaş faced FK Dinamo Tirana in the 1986/87 European Champion Clubs' Cup first round, winning both legs without conceding. • Clubs from Albania and Turkey have met in 13 UEFA games, with all 13 being won by the Turkish side, by an aggregate score of 34-3. Form guide • Beşiktaş come into the game on the back of three successive 1-1 draws in Group H. They have scored once in each of their last seven European fixtures (two 1-0 wins, 2-1 and 3-1 defeats and the three 1-1s mentioned above). • Skënderbeu have lost their last three European away games (conceding 11 goals in the process) but won their first group stage contest on matchday four, 3-0 at home against Sporting. • The competition's change of identity has played well with Beşiktaş: they failed to make it through all three of their UEFA Cup group stage campaigns, but have been successful in all three of their UEFA Europa League ones. • Skenderbëu are the first Albanian side to feature in the group stage of a major UEFA competition. Trivia and links • The journey from Korce to Istanbul is just shy of 700km. • With 41 goals, Beşiktaş's Mario Gomez is the fourth highest-scoring German player of all time in UEFA club competition. He needs two more to match third-placed Ulf Kirsten. • Skënderbeu are one of ten sides in the group stage who qualified for Europe this season as domestic champions, along with Qarabağ FK (Azerbaijan), APOEL FC (Cyprus), FC Viktoria Plzeň (Czech Republic), FC Midtjylland (Denmark), KKS Lech Poznań (Poland), FK Partizan (Serbia), Celtic FC (Scotland), Molde FK (Norway) and FC Basel 1893 (Switzerland). The coaches • Former Trabzonspor AŞ and Turkey goalkeeper Şenol Günes took charge at Beşiktaş in June this year. He famously coached Turkey to a bronze-medal finish at the 2002 FIFA World Cup. He has also won two Turkish Cups in the course of four spells as Trabzonspor coach. • In situ at Skënderbeu since 2012, Mirel Josa was capped 27 times as a midfielder by Albania, spending the bulk of his career at KF Tirana before finishing up in Greece. He won a title as a coach with Tirana and has led his current side to glory in the last three Albanian league campaigns. 3 Beşiktaş JK - KF Skënderbeu Thursday 26 November 2015 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Atatürk Olimpiyat Stadium, Istanbul Team facts Beşiktaş JK Formed: 1903 Nickname: Kara Kartal (The Black Eagles) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • none Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 13 (2009) Turkish Cup: 9 (2011) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless otherwise indicated) 2014/15: round of 16 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2013/14: play-offs (excluded from the group stage) 2012/13: did not participate in UEFA competition 2011/12: round of 16 2010/11: round of 32 2009/10: UEFA Champions League group stage 2008/09: first round 2007/08: UEFA Champions League group stage 2006/07: group stage 2005/06: group stage Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 5-1: Beşiktaş v Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC 15/09/11, UEFA Europa League group stage 5-1: Beşiktaş v FC Vaduz 25/08/05, UEFA Cup second qualifying round second leg 4-0: Beşiktaş JK v NK Široki Brijeg 28/08/08, UEFA Cup second qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 0-5: FK Sarajevo v Beşiktaş 03/10/02, UEFA Cup first round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-5: Beşiktaş v FC Dynamo Kyiv 14/03/87, European Champion Clubs' Cup quarter-finals first leg • Heaviest away defeat 8-0: Liverpool FC v Beşiktaş 06/11/07, UEFA Champions League group stage UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 5-1: Beşiktaş v Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC (see above) 5-1: Beşiktaş v FC Vaduz (see above) 4-0: Beşiktaş JK v NK Široki Brijeg (see above) • Biggest away win 0-5: FK Sarajevo v Beşiktaş (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 1-4: Beşiktaş v FC Dynamo Kyiv 17/02/11, round of 32 first leg 0-3: Beşiktaş v Club Atlético de Madrid 15/03/12, round of 16 second leg • Heaviest away defeat 4-0: FC Dynamo Kyiv v Beşiktaş 24/02/11, round of 32 second leg 4 Beşiktaş JK - KF Skënderbeu Thursday 26 November 2015 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Atatürk Olimpiyat Stadium, Istanbul KF Skënderbeu Formed: 1909 Nickname: Bardhekuqtë (The White and Reds) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 6 (2015) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: UEFA Champions League second qualifying round 2013/14: play-offs (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2012/13: UEFA Champions League second qualifying round 2011/12: UEFA Champions League second qualifying round 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 Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 4-1: Skënderbeu v Crusaders FC 14/07/15, UEFA Champions League second qualifying round first leg 3-0: Skënderbeu v Sporting Clube de Portugal 05/11/15, UEFA Europa League group stage • Biggest away win 0-2: FC Milsami Orhei v Skënderbeu 28/07/15, UEFA Champions League third qualifying round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-2: Skënderbeu v APOEL FC 13/07/11, UEFA Champions League second qualifying round first leg • Heaviest away defeat 5-1: Sporting Clube de Portugal v Skënderbeu 22/10/15, UEFA Europa League group stage 4-0: APOEL FC v Skënderbeu 20/07/11, UEFA Champions League second qualifying round second leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 3-0: Skënderbeu v Sporting Clube de Portugal (see above) • Biggest away win N/A • Heaviest home defeat 0-1: Skënderbeu v Beşiktaş JK 17/09/15, group stage • Heaviest away defeat 5-1: Sporting Clube de Portugal v Skënderbeu (see above) 5 Beşiktaş JK - KF Skënderbeu Thursday 26 November 2015 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Atatürk Olimpiyat Stadium, Istanbul Squad list Beşiktaş JK Current season All-time UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
