The Turkish team would top any three-way tie involving Villarreal and Steaua. • Zürich are through with a victory. Previous meetings • Zürich won 2-1 when they met Osmanlıspor for the first time, on 29 September; the Ankara side's first encounter with Swiss opposition was also coach Mustafa Akçay's first defeat in 20 UEFA club competition matches. • Zürich's record in six games against Turkish teams is W2 D2 L2 (L2 in Turkey). • Zürich's first involvement with Turkish opponents, in the 1963/64 European Champion Clubs' Cup first round, produced plenty of drama. They traded 2-0 home victories with Galatasaray, prompting a replay on neutral territory in Rome. It was 1-1 after 90 minutes, then 2-2 after 120, leading to Zürich winning on a coin toss. Form guide • Osmanlıspor remain unbeaten at home in Europe this season (W4 D1, with clean sheets in all of those wins). • Zürich are without a victory in their last six European away fixtures (D2 L4). • This is Osmanlıspor's first UEFA group stage venture; they previously competed in Europe under the name Ankaraspor. • Zürich have failed to make it through the UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League group stage in two attempts since making the cut on their first appearance in 2007/08. Links and trivia • The journey from Zurich to Ankara is around 2,100km. • Zürich centre-back Ivan Kecojević played in Turkey for Gaziantepspor (2012–14). • Zürich have committed 111 fouls in the first five matchdays – 13 more than any other side in this season's group phase. • Zürich qualified for the UEFA Europa League as winners of the 2015/16 Swiss Cup, but were relegated from the Swiss Super League in the same season. The coaches • Hired in July 2015, Mustafa Akçay earned Osmanlıspor European qualification with a fifth-placed finish last term. He had been in charge of a number of lower-profile teams in Turkey before guiding Trabzonspor through the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League group stage. • Appointed Zürich coach in May following their demotion from the Swiss top flight, Uli Forte was a defender in Switzerland's lower leagues, climbing the ladder as a coach with spells managing St Gallen, Grasshoppers and Young Boys. Chapecoense commemoration Teams taking part in all of the matchday six UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League fixtures will observe a minute's silence to pay respect to the victims of last week's air disaster involving the Chapecoense team and accompanying delegation. The Brazilian club lost most of their players and coaching staff in the accident, which occurred in Colombia, where Chapecoense were due to play the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final against Atlético Nacional. "European football is united in expressing its deepest sympathy to Chapecoense, the Brazilian Football Confederation [CBF], CONMEBOL and the families of all the victims," said UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin. "This tragedy has shaken the world of football, and we would like to send our support to all of those affected by it." 3 Osmanlıspor - FC Zürich Thursday 8 December 2016 - 17.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Osmanlı Stadı, Ankara Team facts Osmanlıspor Formed: 1978 (formerly Ankaraspor) Nickname: Osmanlılar (The Ottomans) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • none Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) None Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2015/16: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2014/15: did not take part in UEFA club competition 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 Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 5-0: Osmanlıspor v Zimbru Chisinau 21/07/16, UEFA Europa League second qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 0-2: Nõmme Kalju v Osmanlıspor 04/08/16, UEFA Europa League third qualifying round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-4: Osmanlıspor v Dubnica 02/07/05, UEFA Intertoto Cup second round first leg • Heaviest away defeat 2-1: Steaua v Osmanlıspor 24/11/16, UEFA Europa League group stage 2-1: Zürich v Osmanlıspor 29/09/16, UEFA Europa League group stage UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 5-0: Osmanlıspor v Zimbru Chisinau (see above) • Biggest away win 0-2: Nõmme Kalju v Osmanlıspor (see above) • Heaviest home defeat N/A • Heaviest away defeat 2-1: Steaua v Osmanlıspor (see above) 2-1: Zürich v Osmanlıspor (see above) FC Zürich Formed: 1896 Nickname: Der Stadtclub (The City Club) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 12 (2009) Swiss Cup: 9 (2016) 4 Osmanlıspor - FC Zürich Thursday 8 December 2016 - 17.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Osmanlı Stadı, Ankara Ten-year record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2015/16: third qualifying round 2014/15: group stage 2013/14: third qualifying round 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2011/12: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2009/10: UEFA Champions League group stage 2008/09: first round 2007/08: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2006/07: UEFA Champions League second qualifying round Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 7-0: Zürich v Brotnjo 22/06/02, UEFA Intertoto Cup first round first leg • Biggest away win 0-7: KA Akureyri v Zürich 22/09/70, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup first round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-5: Zürich v Bayer Leverkusen 19/12/07, UEFA Cup group stage • Heaviest away defeat 6-0: Real Madrid v Zürich 07/05/64, European Champion Clubs' Cup semi-final second leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 4-0: Zürich v Shakhtar Donetsk 13/08/98, second qualifying round first leg 4-0: Zürich v Anorthosis Famagusta 15/09/98, first round first leg • Biggest away win 0-3: Sliema Wanderers v Zürich 12/08/99, qualifying round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-5: Zürich v Bayer Leverkusen (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 5-1: Kaiserslautern v Zürich 03/10/79, first round second leg 4-0: Benfica v Zürich 08/12/82, third round second leg 5 Osmanlıspor - FC Zürich Thursday 8 December 2016 - 17.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Osmanlı Stadı, Ankara Squad list Osmanlıspor Current season All-time QUAL UEL League UEL UEFA No.
