Previous meetings • The clubs drew 1-1 in Austria on Matchday 1, Michael Liendl's penalty salvaging a draw for Wolfsberg in their first UEFA encounter with Russian opponents after CSKA's Argentinian striker Adolfo Gaich had put the visitors ahead five minutes into his European debut. • CSKA's only pairing with Austrian opposition ahead of that Group K opener was all of 39 years ago when they lost to Sturm Graz on away goals in the UEFA Cup first round (0-1 a, 2-1 h). Form guide CSKA • CSKA are staging a UEFA Europa League group stage encore having finished fourth in the Russian Premier League for the second year in a row under head coach Viktor Goncharenko. UEFA Champions League group stage participants for six straight years from 2013/14 to 2018/19, their 2019/20 UEFA Europa League campaign ended early as they finished bottom of their group, on five points, behind Espanyol, Ludogorets and Ferencváros. • The 2004/05 UEFA Cup winners collected 16 points in their only other UEFA Europa League group stage adventure, in 2010/11, to top their section and progress to the round of 16. In 2017/18, having finished third in their UEFA Champions League group, they made it to the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals, where they were knocked out by Arsenal. • CSKA won all three of their Moscow fixtures in that 2010/11 UEFA Europa League group stage, but registered just one point at home last season. After 0-0 draws this term against both Dinamo Zagreb and Feyenoord, they are now on a seven-match winless European run in the Russian capital (D3 L4), in which they have scored just four goals, their last victory there a famous 1-0 success against holders Real Madrid on Matchday 2 of the 2018/19 UEFA Champions League. Wolfsberg • Promoted to the Austrian top flight for the first time in 2012, Wolfsberg finished third in the 2019/20 Bundesliga, repeating their highest ever placing of a year earlier, to re-qualify for the UEFA Europa League for the second successive season. Last term they finished bottom of Group J with five points despite winning their Matchday 1 encounter 4-0 at Borussia Mönchengladbach. • This is only the club's third European campaign. The first, in 2015/16, ended with a 6-0 aggregate defeat by Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round, though they had won their inaugural tie a round earlier, beating Shakhtyor Soligorsk 3-0 over two legs. • Three of Wolfsberg's four victories in 14 European matches have come outside Austria, with their away record in the group stage now W2 D1 L2. Links and trivia • Wolfsberg's 36-year-old Serbian defender Nemanja Rnić played for Partizan against CSKA in the 2004/05 UEFA Cup fourth round first leg. The game finished 1-1, the Moscow side winning the return 2-0 and going on to lift the trophy. • CSKA are one of six former UEFA Cup winners competing in this season's UEFA Europa League group stage, together with Bayer Leverkusen (Group C), PSV Eindhoven (E), Napoli (F), Tottenham (J) and Group K rivals Feyenoord. 3 PFC CSKA Moskva - Wolfsberger AC Thursday 3 December 2020 - 18.55CET (20.55 local time) Match press kit CSKA Arena, Moscow Team facts PFC CSKA Moskva Formed: 1911 Nickname: Armeytsi (Army Men) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • UEFA Cup (1): 2005 • UEFA Super Cup: (2005) Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 13 (2016) USSR/Russian Cup: 12 (2013) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2019/20: group stage 2018/19: UEFA Champions League group stage 2017/18: quarter-finals (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2016/17: UEFA Champions League group stage 2015/16: UEFA Champions League group stage 2014/15: UEFA Champions League group stage 2013/14: UEFA Champions League group stage 2012/13: play-offs 2011/12: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2010/11: round of 16 Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 5-1: CSKA v Lausanne 02/12/10, UEFA Europa League group stage 4-0 twice, most recently v Anorthosis Famagusta 19/08/10, UEFA Europa League play-off first leg • Biggest away win 0-3 three times, most recently v Real Madrid 12/12/18, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest home defeat 1-4: CSKA v Manchester United 27/09/17, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 6-0: Marseille v CSKA 17/03/93, UEFA Champions League group stage UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 5-1: CSKA v Lausanne (see above) 4-0 twice, most recently v Anorthosis Famagusta (see above) • Biggest away win 0-3 twice, most recently v Palermo 21/10/10, group stage • Heaviest home defeat 0-2 twice, most recently v Espanyol 03/10/19, group stage • Heaviest away defeat 5-1: Ludogorets v CSKA 19/09/19, group stage Wolfsberger AC Formed: 1931 Nickname: WAC, Die Lavanttaler (People from the Lavant valley) 4 PFC CSKA Moskva - Wolfsberger AC Thursday 3 December 2020 - 18.55CET (20.55 local time) Match press kit CSKA Arena, Moscow UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) None Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2019/20: group stage 2018/19: did not take part in UEFA competition 2017/18: did not take part in UEFA competition 2016/17: did not take part in UEFA competition 2015/16: third qualifying round 2014/15: did not take part in UEFA competition 2013/14: did not take part in UEFA competition 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA competition 2011/12: did not take part in UEFA competition 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 2-0: Wolfsberg v Shakhtyor Soligorsk 23/07/15, UEFA Europa League second qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 0-4: Mönchengladbach v Wolfsberg 19/09/19, UEFA Europa League group stage • Heaviest home defeat 0-3 twice, most recently v Dinamo Zagreb 26/11/20, UEFA Europa League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 5-0: Borussia Dortmund v Wolfsberg 06/08/15, UEFA Europa League third qualifying round second leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 2-0: Wolfsberg v Shakhtyor Soligorsk (see above) • Biggest away win 0-4: Mönchengladbach v Wolfsberg (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 0-3 twice, most recently v Dinamo Zagreb (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 5-0: Borussia Dortmund v Wolfsberg (see above) 5 PFC CSKA Moskva - Wolfsberger AC Thursday 3 December 2020 - 18.55CET (20.55 local time) Match press kit CSKA Arena, Moscow Squad list PFC CSKA Moskva Current season All-time UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
