It was Lokomotiv's joint heaviest home defeat in the UEFA Champions League. • The Portuguese side now have seven points in the section, two more than Schalke and three ahead of Galatasaray. Loko are fourth having lost all three games and will be unable to finish in the top two if either they lose and there is a winner in the Galatasaray-Schalke game, or if they draw and Schalke win. Form guide Porto • Porto edged to a 1-0 win at home against Galatasaray on matchday two having been held 1-1 at Schalke in their opening fixture. • Porto are in the UEFA Champions League for the 23rd season – the joint highest total ever alongside Real Madrid and Barcelona. • Porto have reached the round of 16 in the last two years, and have qualified from the group three times in the last four seasons. In 2017/18 they lost 5-0 on aggregate to eventual runners-up Liverpool in the last 16 having been beaten at home by the same scoreline in the first leg. • Porto picked up six points at home in last season's group stage. However, despite their matchday two victory, they have won only five of their last 12 home matches in European competition, losing the same number. • The Portuguese club are without a win in their last two home games against Russian visitors (D1 L1), the most recent such contest a 1-0 defeat by Zenit in the 2013/14 UEFA Champions League group stage. That is Porto's sole loss in their six home games against Russian clubs (W2 D3) – although they have failed to score in four of those six matches. Lokomotiv • Lokomotiv went down 3-0 at Galatasaray in their first fixture before a late 1-0 home loss to Schalke. • Loko have lost their last five European matches – having won the previous four. The current run equals the worst losing sequence in Lokomotiv's European history, matching their five successive losses in 2003. • Russian champions last season for the first time since 2004, Lokomotiv are in the group stage for the fourth time, having not featured since 2003/04 – their third successive appearance – when they reached the round of 16. • The Moscow club have qualified from their group on their last two appearances. • In 2017/18, Lokomotiv began in the UEFA Europa League group stage, beating Nice in the round of 32 before suffering an 8-1 aggregate loss against eventual champions Atlético Madrid in the last 16. • The 3-0 first-leg loss at Atlético was Lokomotiv's only away defeat in Europe last season (W2 D2). Despite that defeat, and the matchday one reverse at Galatasaray, they have lost only three of their last 11 European away matches (W4 D4). • Loko are without an away victory in the UEFA Champions League since a 2-1 win at Galatasaray in the 2002/03 first group stage. Their subsequent record, qualifying included, is D4 L7. • Lokomotiv lost their first two games in Portugal but won the last, 3-1 at Sporting CP in the 2015/16 UEFA Europa League group stage.
