Previous meetings • The clubs are meeting for the first time in UEFA competition. • In their sole previous encounter with Belgian opponents, St-Étienne drew 1-1 at Club Brugge in the 2008/09 UEFA Cup group stage. • Anderlecht's 20 games against French sides have ended W7 D9 L4 (W3 D5 L2 in France). Most recently, they played Monaco in last season's UEFA Europa League group stage, drawing 1-1 at home and winning 2-0 in the principality. Form guide • St-Étienne are unbeaten in five European fixtures (W2 D3) after drawing their opening Group C match 1-1 at Mainz. • That was their third straight 1-1 UEFA Europa League group stage draw. Of their 17 group games in this competition, 11 have finished in draws. • Anderlecht are on a three-match winning streak in Europe, having scored three goals in each of those outings. • St-Étienne have qualified in two of their past three UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League group campaigns. • Anderlecht have made it through all five previous UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League group stage campaigns. • St-Étienne's Florentin Pogba is the older brother of Manchester United's Paul Pogba. Links and trivia • The journey from Brussels to St-Étienne is around 600km, due south. • Anderlecht's Dennis Appiah and St-Étienne's Stéphane Ruffier (2010–11) and Kévin Malcuit (2010–12) were club- mates at Monaco. • Anderlecht's on-loan Uroš Spajić (Toulouse 2013–) and Sofiane Hanni (Nantes 2009–11) also have Ligue 1 experience. The coaches • St-Étienne coach since 2009, Christophe Galtier steered Les Verts to French League Cup success in 2012/13. He had worked as assistant to Alain Perrin at St-Étienne before getting the senior job. Originally a defender, he started his playing career at home-town club Marseille. • Capped once by Switzerland, René Weiler is in his first season as Anderlecht coach having spent his first two years of coaching abroad with Nürnberg in Germany from 2014–16. The one-time defender established his coaching reputation in his home country with Schaffhausen and Aarau. 4 AS Saint-Étienne - RSC Anderlecht Thursday 29 September 2016 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Stade Geoffroy Guichard, Saint-Etienne Team facts AS Saint-Étienne Formed: 1919 Nickname: Les Verts (The Greens) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • European Champion Clubs' Cup: (1976) Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) Domestic title: 10 (1981) French Cup: 6 (1977) French League Cup: 1 (2013) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2015/16: round of 32 2014/15: group stage 2013/14: play-offs 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: round of 16 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 7-0: St-Étienne v KuPS Kuopio 01/01/80, UEFA Cup first round second leg • Biggest away win 0-7: KuPS Kuopio v St-Étienne 17/09/80, UEFA Cup first round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 1-4 twice, most recently v Ipswich Town FC 04/03/81, UEFA Cup quarter-final first leg • Heaviest away defeat 4-0 twice, most recently v Bohemians 1905 03/11/82, UEFA Cup second round second leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 7-0: St-Étienne v KuPS Kuopio (see above) • Biggest away win 0-7: KuPS Kuopio v St-Étienne (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 1-4 twice, most recently v Ipswich Town FC (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 4-0: Bohemians 1905 v St-Étienne (see above) RSC Anderlecht Formed: 1908 Nicknames: Paars-wit (Purple and Whites, Dutch), Les Mauves et Blancs (Purple and Whites, French) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (2): 1976, (1977), 1978, (1990) • UEFA Cup (1): 1983, (1984) • UEFA Super Cup (2): 1976, 1978 Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 33 (2014) 5 AS Saint-Étienne - RSC Anderlecht Thursday 29 September 2016 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Stade Geoffroy Guichard, Saint-Etienne Belgian Cup: 9 (2008) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2015/16: round of 16 2014/15: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2013/14: UEFA Champions League group stage 2012/13: UEFA Champions League group stage 2011/12: round of 32 2010/11: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2009/10: round of 16 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2008/09: UEFA Champions League second qualifying round 2007/08: round of 16 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2006/07: UEFA Champions League group stage Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 9-0: Anderlecht v Derry City FC 23/11/65, European Champion Clubs' Cup first round first leg • Biggest away win 1-10: FC Haka v Anderlecht 14/09/66, European Champion Clubs' Cup first round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-5: Anderlecht v Paris Saint-Germain 23/10/13, UEFA Champions League group stage 0-5: Anderlecht v FC Bayern München 06/03/08, UEFA Cup round of 16 first leg • Heaviest away defeat 10-0: Manchester United FC v Anderlecht 26/09/56, European Champion Clubs' Cup preliminary round second leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 6-1: Anderlecht v Leiftur 12/08/09, qualifying round first leg 6-1: Anderlecht v FK Sarajevo 24/11/82, third round first leg 5-0: Anderlecht v FC Tiligul Tiraspol 29/07/98, first qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 0-3 on six occasions, most recently v SK Slavia Praha 18/08/16, play-off first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-5: Anderlecht v FC Bayern München (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 6-1: Real Madrid CF v Anderlecht 12/12/84, third round second leg 6 AS Saint-Étienne - RSC Anderlecht Thursday 29 September 2016 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Stade Geoffroy Guichard, Saint-Etienne Squad list AS Saint-Étienne Current season All-time QUAL UEL League UEL UEFA No.
