Previous meetings • The sides are meeting for the first time. • The only previous UEFA competition tie between Russian and Albanian clubs – a 1979/80 European Cup Winners' Cup first round meeting of FC Dinamo Moskva and KF Vllaznia – was given as a walkover victory for the Russian team, with Vllaznia withdrawing due to tensions between Albania and the Soviet Union. Form guide • Lokomotiv lost their last European home game 4-1 against Apollon Limassol FC in the 2014/15 UEFA Europa League play-offs. • Skënderbeu have won only one of their nine UEFA away games – a 2-0 triumph over FC Milsami Orhei in July 2015 – (W1 D2 L6) since making their continental debut in 2011/12 UEFA Champions League qualifying. • Lokomotiv have successfully navigated their way through two of their previous three UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League group stage campaigns. • Skenderbëu are the first Albanian side to feature in the group stage of a major UEFA competition. Trivia and links • The journey from Korce to Moscow is around 2,100km. • This is Lokomotiv's 50th UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League fixture: the previous 49 ended W22 D9 L18. • Lokomotiv's Ukrainian defender Taras Mikhalik can make his 50th UEFA club competition appearance in this game. • Skenderbëu are one of ten domestic champions in this season's group stage, along with Qarabağ FK (Azerbaijan), APOEL FC (Cyprus), FC Viktoria Plzeň (Czech Republic), FC Midtjylland (Denmark), KKS Lech Poznań (Poland), FK Partizan (Serbia), Celtic FC (Scotland), Molde FK (Norway) and FC Basel 1893 (Switzerland). The coaches • A six-time Tajik international, Igor Cherevchenko lifted four Russian Cups as a Lokomotiv player between 1996 and 2001, and a fifth as coach last season. He is the first man to have won the competition as a player and a coach. He has been on the club's coaching staff since 2008. • In charge at Skënderbeu since 2012, Mirel Josa was capped 27 times as a midfielder by Albania and spent the bulk of his career at KF Tirana before finishing up in Greece. He won a title as a coach with Tirana too, and has led his current side to glory in the last three Albanian league campaigns. 3 FC Lokomotiv Moskva - KF Skënderbeu Thursday 1 October 2015 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Stadion Lokomotiv, Moscow Team facts FC Lokomotiv Moskva Formed: 1923 Nickname: Loko UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 2 (2004) National cup: 8 (2015) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: play-offs 2013/14: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2011/12: round of 32 2010/11: play-offs 2009/10: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2008/09: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2007/08: group stage 2006/07: first round 2005/06: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 5-0: Lokomotiv v FC BATE Borisov 25/08/99, UEFA Cup qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 1-7: FC BATE Borisov v Lokomotiv 12/08/99, UEFA Cup qualifying round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-5: Lokomotiv v FC Bayern München 26/09/95, UEFA Cup first round second leg • Heaviest away defeat 4-0: Real Madrid CF v Lokomotiv 19/09/01, UEFA Champions League group stage UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 5-0: Lokomotiv v FC BATE Borisov (see above) • Biggest away win 1-7: FC BATE Borisov v Lokomotiv (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 0-5: Lokomotiv v FC Bayern München (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 3-0: Juventus v Lokomotiv 15/09/93, first round first leg KF Skënderbeu Formed: 1909 Nickname: Bardhekuqtë (The White and Reds) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 6 (2015) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 4 FC Lokomotiv Moskva - KF Skënderbeu Thursday 1 October 2015 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Stadion Lokomotiv, Moscow 2014/15: UEFA Champions League second qualifying round 2013/14: play-offs (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2012/13: UEFA Champions League second qualifying round 2011/12: UEFA Champions League second qualifying round 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: did not take part in UEFA club competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 4-1: Skënderbeu v Crusaders FC 14/07/15, UEFA Champions League second qualifying round first leg • Biggest away win 0-2: FC Milsami Orhei v Skënderbeu 28/07/15, UEFA Champions League third qualifying round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-2: Skënderbeu v APOEL FC 13/07/11, UEFA Champions League second qualifying round first leg • Heaviest away defeat 4-0: APOEL FC v Skënderbeu 20/07/11, UEFA Champions League second qualifying round second leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 1-0: Skënderbeu v FC Chornomorets Odesa 29/08/13, play-off second leg • Biggest away win N/A • Heaviest home defeat 0-1: Skënderbeu v Beşiktaş JK 17/09/15, group stage • Heaviest away defeat 1-0: FC Chornomorets Odesa v Skënderbeu 22/08/13, play-off first leg 5 FC Lokomotiv Moskva - KF Skënderbeu Thursday 1 October 2015 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Stadion Lokomotiv, Moscow Squad list FC Lokomotiv Moskva Current season All-time UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
