PSG finished second in UEFA Cup Group G. • The clubs met in a 1996/97 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup quarter-final tie. The first leg in Paris was drawn 0-0, but a Patrice Loko hat-trick in the second sent the French team through to the semi-finals, where they beat Liverpool FC before losing the final 1-0 against FC Barcelona in Rotterdam. • Newly-appointed PSG coach Paul Le Guen played in both legs of that tie. The former defensive midfielder also played his first games in European competition against Greek opposition as PSG beat PAOK FC 5-0 on aggregate in the 1992/93 UEFA Cup first round. • This game against AEK will be Le Guen’s first European match in charge of PSG since taking over from Guy Lacombe on 15 January. The coach joined after leaving Rangers FC by mutual consent. The Scottish club face Hapoel Tel-Aviv FC in this round. • PSG have played five games against Greek sides, with Le Guen playing in all but one of them – a 4-0 win against Panathinaikos FC in this season’s UEFA Cup group stage. PSG have yet to lose, or concede a goal, against Greek opposition. • AEK have met French opposition on 15 previous occasions in the course of five knockout ties, two UEFA Champions League group stage campaigns and a UEFA Cup group stage. They lost all five knockout ties, but finally beat a Ligue 1 representative (LOSC Lille Métropole 1-0) in this season's UEFA Champions League. • In total, AEK's record against French sides reads won one, drawn six and lost eight. • AEK midfielder Akis Zikos will be reunited with a host of former team-mates from his time at AS Monaco FC between 2002 and 2006. PSG midfielders Marcelo Gallardo, Edouard Cissé and Jerôme Rothen all played alongside Zikos at the Stade Louis II.

The aggregate winners will face SL Benfica or FC Dinamo 1948 Bucuresti in the Round of 16, playing the home leg on 8 March and the away second leg a week later.
