Previous meetings • Michał Kucharczyk cancelled out Davy De Fauw's opener as Legia held Club Brugge to a 1-1 draw on matchday three in their first European game under new coach Stanislav Cherchesov. • Club Brugge's nine fixtures against Polish sides have ended W4 D2 L3 (W3 D1 L0 in Bruges). They won their first three home games against Polish visitors but drew the most recent one 3-3 – versus WKS Śląsk Wrocław in the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League third qualifying round. • Legia lost both of their previous matches in Belgium 1-0. Form guide • If either side lose, they would be out, if FC Midtjylland win at SSC Napoli. • Both teams will be eliminated if they draw and Midtjylland win. • Club Brugge have the leakiest defence in the group stage, having conceded nine goals in the first three matchdays. • Club Brugge are without a win in five European games (D1 L4) since eliminating Panathinaikos FC in this season's UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. • Legia have taken just a point from their first three Group D contests – they won five of their six group fixtures last term. • Club Brugge have featured at this stage of the UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League eight times, advancing on three occasions. • Legia have made it to the round of 32 in two of their three UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League group campaigns. Trivia and links • The journey from Warsaw to Bruges is around 1,200km. • Legia's Macedonian winger Ivan Tričkovski played for Club Brugge from 2012–14, though he was loaned out for his second season. • Club Brugge's Timmy Simons and FK Partizan's Saša Ilić have made the most UEFA club competition appearances of any outfield players in this season's group stage: 119. The coaches • A great goalkeeper in his time, Club Brugge coach Michel Preud'homme has carved out a fine career as a coach, winning titles in Belgium (with R. Standard de Liège) and Saudi Arabia (al-Shabab). Club Brugge coach since 2013, he led them to Belgian Cup success last season. • Cherchesov replaced Henning Berg as Legia coach on 6 October. The former FC Spartak Moskva and Russia goalkeeper led Spartak through the 2007/08 UEFA Cup group stage and repeated the feat with FC Dinamo Moskva last season, his side winning all six games. 4 Club Brugge KV - Legia Warszawa Thursday 5 November 2015 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Jan Breydelstadion, Bruges Team facts Club Brugge KV Formed: 1891 Nickname: Blauw-Zwart (Blue and Black) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • European Champion Clubs' Cup: (1978) • UEFA Cup: (1976) Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 13 (2005) Belgian Cup: 11 (2015) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: quarter-finals 2013/14: third qualifying round 2012/13: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2011/12: round of 32 2010/11: group stage 2009/10: round of 32 2008/09: group stage 2007/08: first round 2006/07: group stage 2005/06: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 8-0: Club Brugge v Floriana FC 19/09/73, European Champion Clubs' Cup first round first leg • Biggest away win 1-6: ÍA Akranes v Club Brugge 23/08/01, UEFA Cup qualifying round second leg 0-5: Újpesti TE v Club Brugge 15/09/98, UEFA Cup first round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 1-4: Club Brugge v FC Shakhtar Donetsk 17/09/09, UEFA Europa League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 6-1: AS Monaco FC v Club Brugge 09/11/88, European Champion Clubs' Cup second round second leg 5-0: SSC Napoli v Club Brugge 17/09/15, UEFA Europa League group stage UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 7-1: Club Brugge v Olympiakos Nicosia FC 27/09/01, first round second leg • Biggest away win 1-6: ÍA Akranes v Club Brugge (see above) 0-5: Újpesti TE v Club Brugge (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 1-4: Club Brugge v FC Shakhtar Donetsk (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 5-0: SSC Napoli v Club Brugge (see above) Legia Warszawa Formed: 1916 Nickname: Wojskowi (Army Men), Legionisci (Legionnaires) 5 Club Brugge KV - Legia Warszawa Thursday 5 November 2015 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Jan Breydelstadion, Bruges UEFA club competition honours • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) • League title: 10 (2014) • Polish Cup: 17 (2015) Ten-year record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2013/14: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2012/13: play-offs 2011/12: round of 32 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2009/10: third qualifying round 2008/09: second qualifying round 2007/08: UEFA Intertoto Cup second round 2006/07: first round (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2005/06: second qualifying round Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 9-0: Legia v Víkingur Reykjavík 27/09/72, European Cup Winners' Cup first round second leg • Biggest away win 1-6: IF Elfsborg v Legia 27/09/01, UEFA Cup first round second leg 0-5: Saint Patrick's Athletic FC v Legia 23/07/14, UEFA Champions League second qualifying round second leg 0-5: FK Vardar v Legia 12/08/99, UEFA Cup qualifying round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 3-7: Legia v FC Bayern München 05/10/88, UEFA Cup first round second leg 0-4: Legia v TSV 1860 München 03/03/65, European Cup Winners' Cup quarter-final first leg • Heaviest away defeat 6-1: Valencia CF v Legia 01/11/01, UEFA Cup second round second leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 6-0: Legia v FC Tbilisi 26/08/04, second qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 1-6: IF Elfsborg v Legia (see above) 0-5: FK Vardar v Legia (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 3-7: Legia v FC Bayern München (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 6-1: Valencia CF v Legia (see above) 6 Club Brugge KV - Legia Warszawa Thursday 5 November 2015 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Jan Breydelstadion, Bruges Squad list Club Brugge KV Current season All-time UCL UEL League UEL UEFA No.
