Previous meetings • This is the sides' first encounter and Konyaspor's first experience of Portuguese opposition. • Braga's eight matches against Turkish teams have ended W5 L3 (W3 L1 in Turkey). They won on their first three trips to Turkey but that run came to a halt with a 1-0 defeat by Fenerbahçe in last season's UEFA Europa League round of 16. Even so, they won the home return leg 4-1 to progress. Form guide • Newcomers Konyaspor have lost both of their European games to date, without scoring. • Sassuolo and Konyaspor are the only sides in the 2016/17 group stage who are in their debut European seasons. • Braga have failed to score in five of their last six away fixtures in Europe. • Losing finalists in 2011, Braga have made it through all five of their preceding UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League campaigns. Links and trivia • The journey from Braga to Konya is around 3,500km. • Konyaspor's Ibrahim Sissoko and Braga's André Pinto were team-mates at Panathinaikos in 2012/13. The coaches • A striker celebrated for his chest-and-volley goals for Fenerbahçe, Aykut Kocaman started his second spell as Konyaspor coach in 2014. He was in charge at Fenerbahçe from 2010–13, lifting a league title and two Turkish Cups. • José Peseiro returned for a second stint as Braga coach this summer, following a brief tenure at Porto. A lower- league forward, he was Carlos Queiroz's assistant at Real Madrid and later occupied the helms of Sporting, Panathinaikos and Rapid Bucureşti. 3 Konyaspor - SC Braga Thursday 20 October 2016 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Konya Büyükşehir Belediyesi Stadyumu, Konya Team facts Konyaspor Formed: 1981 Nickname: Anadolu Kartalı (Anatolian Eagle) 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 none • Biggest away win none • Heaviest home defeat 0-1: Konyaspor v FC Shakhtar Donetsk 15/09/16, UEFA Europa League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 2-0: Gent v Konyaspor 29/09/16, UEFA Europa League group stage UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win none • Biggest away win none • Heaviest home defeat 0-1: Konyaspor v FC Shakhtar Donetsk (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 2-0: Gent v Konyaspor (see above) SC Braga Formed: 1921 Nickname: Os Arsenalistas (The Arsenal fans) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • UEFA Europa League: (2011) • UEFA Intertoto Cup (1): 2008 Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) Portuguese Cup: 2 (2016) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2015/16: quarter-finals 2014/15: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2013/14: play-offs 4 Konyaspor - SC Braga Thursday 20 October 2016 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Konya Büyükşehir Belediyesi Stadyumu, Konya 2012/13: UEFA Champions League group stage 2011/12: round of 32 2010/11: runners-up (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2009/10: third qualifying round 2008/09: round of 16 2007/08: round of 32 2006/07: round of 16 Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 5-0: Braga v Hibernians FC 13/09/78, UEFA Cup first round first leg • Biggest away win 1-3: Birmingham City FC v Braga 15/09/11, UEFA Europa League group stage 0-2: FC Artmedia Petržalka v Braga 02/10/08, UEFA Cup first round second leg 0-2: Galatasaray AŞ v Braga 02/10/12, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest home defeat 0-3: Braga v FC Shakhtar Donetsk 28/09/10, UEFA Champions League group stage 0-3: Braga v Tottenham Hotspur FC 19/09/84, UEFA Cup first round first leg • Heaviest away defeat 6-0: Arsenal FC v Braga 15/09/10, UEFA Champions League group stage 6-0: Tottenham Hotspur FC v Braga 03/10/84, UEFA Cup first round second leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 5-0: Braga v Hibernians FC (see above) • Biggest away win 1-3: Birmingham City FC v Braga (see above) 0-2: FC Artmedia Petržalka v Braga (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 0-3: Braga v Tottenham Hotspur FC (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 6-0: Tottenham Hotspur FC v Braga (see above) 5 Konyaspor - SC Braga Thursday 20 October 2016 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Konya Büyükşehir Belediyesi Stadyumu, Konya Squad list Konyaspor Current season All-time UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
