It was AEK's joint biggest away win in UEFA competition and Zorya's heaviest European home defeat. Previous meetings • Zorya had never faced a Greek club in Europe until Matchday 3, while AEK's one and only previous pairing with Ukrainian opposition came in the 2017/18 UEFA Europa League round of 32, where they drew twice with Dynamo Kyiv (1-1 h, 0-0 a) but were eliminated on the away goals rule. Form guide AEK • Third in last season's Greek Superleague, 22 points adrift of champions Olympiacos, AEK's 2019/20 European campaign ended in the UEFA Europa League play-offs, where they lost on away goals to Trabzonspor (1-3 h, 2-0 a).
