Form guide • Ruthless finishing helped Club Brugge prevail 3-0 in Finland when these sides met on matchday two. • Club Brugge have won both of their previous home games against Finnish clubs, while HJK lost 3-0 to RSC Anderlecht on their only previous trip to Belgium, during qualifying for the 1993/94 UEFA Champions League. • Club Brugge come into matchday six unbeaten in Group B, though they have drawn both their home matches in the section. They have conceded just twice in nine European fixtures this season. • HJK have not won in eight European away games (D2 L6). Trivia and links • Club Brugge midfielder Timmy Simons turns 38 on the day of the HJK game. Simons and HJK counterpart Mika Väyrynen played together at PSV Eindhoven from 2005 to 2008, winning two Dutch titles together. • HJK are making only their second appearance in a major UEFA competition group stage, having reached the same phase of the 1998/99 UEFA Champions League. They are Finland's first UEFA Europa League group stage contenders. • HJK forwards Aristide Bance (KSC Lokeren OV, KFC Germinal Beerschot Antwerpen) and Roni Porokara (also Germinal Beerschot) both have Belgian league experience. • HJK are among ten national champions in the group stage along with GNK Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia), Legia Warszawa (Poland), FC Steaua Bucureşti (Romania), AC Sparta Praha (Czech Republic), Aalborg BK (Denmark), ŠK Slovan Bratislava (Slovakia), Qarabağ FK (Azerbaijan), FC Salzburg (Austria) and Celtic FC (Scotland). The coaches • A goalkeeper for R. Standard de Liège, KV Mechelen, SL Benfica and Belgium, for whom he won 58 caps, Michel Preud'homme has been in charge at Club Brugge since September 2013. As a coach, he has won league titles in Belgium (Standard, 2007/08) and Saudi Arabia (Al-Shabab FC, 2011/12) in addition to the Belgian Cup (KAA Gent, 2009/10) and the Dutch Cup (FC Twente, 2010/11). • HJK coach Mika Lehkosuo was a midfielder for the club when they played in the 1998/99 UEFA Champions League, captaining the side after a brief spell in Italy with AC Perugia. Capped 17 times, he coached FC Honka Espoo before taking over at HJK in April 2014. 3 Club Brugge KV - HJK Helsinki Thursday 11 December 2014 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Jan Breydelstadion, Bruges Team facts Club Brugge KV Formed: 1891 Nickname: Blauw-Zwart (Blue and Black) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • European Champion Clubs' Cup: (1978) • UEFA Cup: (1976) Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 13 (2005) Belgian Cup: 10 (2007) Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2013/14: third qualifying round 2012/13: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2011/12: round of 32 2010/11: group stage 2009/10: round of 32 2008/09: group stage 2007/08: first round 2006/07: group stage 2005/06: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2004/05: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 8-0: Club Brugge v Floriana FC 19/09/73, European Champion Clubs' Cup first round first leg • Biggest away win 1-6: ÍA Akranes v Club Brugge 23/08/01, UEFA Cup qualifying round second leg 0-5: Újpesti TE v Club Brugge 15/09/98, UEFA Cup first round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 1-4: Club Brugge v FC Shakhtar Donetsk 17/09/09, UEFA Europa League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 6-1: AS Monaco FC v Club Brugge 09/11/88, European Champion Clubs' Cup second round second leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 7-1: Club Brugge v Olympiakos Nicosia FC 27/09/01, first round second leg • Biggest away win 1-6: ÍA Akranes v Club Brugge (see above) 0-5: Újpesti TE v Club Brugge (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 1-4: Club Brugge v FC Shakhtar Donetsk (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 4-0: FC Girondins de Bordeaux v Club Brugge 20/09/12, group stage HJK Helsinki Formed: 1907 Nickname: Klubi (The Club) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) 4 Club Brugge KV - HJK Helsinki Thursday 11 December 2014 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Jan Breydelstadion, Bruges • none Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 26 (2013) Finnish Cup: 11 (2011) Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2013/14: UEFA Champions League second qualifying round 2012/13: play-offs (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2011/12: play-offs (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2010/11: play-offs (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2009/10: second qualifying round 2008/09: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2007/08: second qualifying round 2006/07: first qualifying round 2005/06: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2004/05: UEFA Champions League second qualifying round Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 10-0: HJK v Bangor City FC 19/07/11, UEFA Champions League second qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 0-5: B71 Sandoy v HJK 11/08/94, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup preliminary round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 1-8: HJK v AFC Ajax 19/09/79, European Champion Clubs' Cup first round first leg • Heaviest away defeat 8-1: AFC Ajax v HJK 03/10/79, European Champion Clubs' Cup first round second leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 5-2: HJK v FC Pyunik 24/07/96, preliminary round second leg 4-1: HJK v CS Grevenmacher 10/08/00, qualifying round first leg • Biggest away win 0-1 on three occasions, most recently v FK Vėtra 16/07/09, second qualifying round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-6: HJK v FC Dinamo Minsk 03/10/84, first round second leg • Heaviest away defeat 6-0: Athletic Club v HJK 23/08/12, play-off first leg 5 Club Brugge KV - HJK Helsinki Thursday 11 December 2014 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Jan Breydelstadion, Bruges Squad list Club Brugge KV Current season All-time QUAL UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
