Previous meetings • Substitute Lacina Traoré struck late to earn Monaco a 1-1 draw in Brussels on 17 September. • Monaco's five games against Belgian sides have ended W3 D1 L1 (W2 D0 L0 at home). Those two home wins were by significant margins: 5-1 and 6-1. • Anderlecht's record in 19 UEFA fixtures against French teams is W6 D9 L4 (W2 D5 L2 away). They are without a victory in their last six encounters with Ligue 1 sides (D3 L3). Form guide • Monaco are unbeaten in four European home games this term (W3 D1) and have been oddly consistent in Group J, scoring once in each of their four contests – three 1-1 draws and a 1-0 success. • Anderlecht are without a win in 13 European away trips (D6 L7) since a 6-0 defeat of FK Ekranas in the 2012/13 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. • Monaco were successful in their only previous UEFA Cup or UEFA Europa League group stage campaign, making it to the round of 32 in 2005/06. • Anderlecht advanced to the round of 32 in all four of their previous UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League group stage campaigns, most recently in 2011/12. Trivia and links • The journey from Brussels to Monaco is around 800km. • Anderlecht's Fabrice N'Sakala (ES Troyes AC), Idrissa Sylla (Le Mans UC 72, SC Bastia) and Guillaume Gillet (SC Bastia) have French league experience. • Monaco's Nabil Dirar (Diegem Sport, KVC Westerlo, Club Brugge KV) and Adama Traoré (R. Mouscron-Péruwelz) have played in Belgium. The coaches • Venezuelan-born Leonardo Jardim has been in charge of Monaco since summer 2014. A coach since he was in his 20s, he led SC Beira-Mar and SC Braga in the top division in Portugal and then tried his luck in Greece with Olympiacos FC before earning a second-place Liga finish with a young Sporting Clube de Portugal squad in 2013/14. • Previously assistant coach, former Albanian international Besnik Hasi assumed sole command at Anderlecht in March 2014. Hasi's playing career took off after he moved to Belgium in 1994, the midfielder winning a title with KRC Genk and another with Anderlecht, where he returned after hanging up his boots at Cercle Brugge KSV. 5 AS Monaco FC - RSC Anderlecht Thursday 26 November 2015 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Stade Louis II, Monaco Team facts AS Monaco FC Formed: 1919 Nickname: Les Rouge et Blanc (The Red and Whites) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • UEFA Champions League: (2004) • UEFA Cup Winners' Cup: (1992) Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 7 (2000) French Cup: 5 (1991) French League Cup: 1 (2003) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: UEFA Champions League quarter-finals 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 2005/06: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 8-0: Monaco v Swansea City AFC 01/10/91, European Cup Winners' Cup first round second leg • Biggest away win 0-5: RC Deportivo La Coruña v Monaco 08/12/04, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest home defeat 2-5: Monaco v Dundee United FC 16/09/81, UEFA Cup first round first leg 0-3: Monaco v FC Porto (neutral) 26/05/04, UEFA Champions League final 0-3: Monaco v Leeds United AFC 12/09/95, UEFA Cup first round first leg • Heaviest away defeat 4-1: RCD Mallorca v Monaco 02/03/00, UEFA Cup fourth round second leg 4-1: Juventus v Monaco 01/04/98, UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg 3-0: four times, most recently v Sporting Clube de Portugal 17/09/97, UEFA Champions League group stage UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 4-0: Monaco v Grazer AK 03/11/98, second round second leg • Biggest away win 2-4: VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach v Monaco 15/10/96, second round first leg 1-3 three times, most recently Willem II v Monaco 29/09/05, first round second leg 2-0 twice, most recently SK Slavia Praha v Monaco 30/11/05, group stage 6 AS Monaco FC - RSC Anderlecht Thursday 26 November 2015 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Stade Louis II, Monaco • Heaviest home defeat 2-5: Monaco v Dundee United FC (see above) 0-3: Monaco v Leeds United AFC (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 4-1: RCD Mallorca v Monaco (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) Belgian Cup: 9 (2008) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: round of 32
