Form guide • FCK have won just twice in their last seven European home games, with the other five fixtures ending D2 L3. • HJK are without a win in six European away matches (D2 L4) since a 2-1 win at KR Reykjavík in the 2012/13 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round. • The last seven games between Danish and Finnish sides in UEFA club competition have been won by the Danish team. Only once in 14 European fixtures side has a Finnish club beaten a Danish side in Denmark, FC Jazz overcoming FCK 1-0 in the 1994/95 UEFA Cup preliminary round. That remains FCK's sole defeat in six meetings with Finnish clubs – and they won the return fixture in Pori 4-0. Trivia and links • 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. • HJK's Danish goalkeeper Michael Tørnes competed for a first-team place with his FCK counterpart Stephan Andersen when the two played together at Brøndby IF (2007-11). The coaches • FCK's Norwegian coach Ståle Solbakken earned 58 caps during a successful playing career, which ended abruptly after he suffered a heart attack. Having won five Danish titles in his first spell as the club's coach, Solbakken returned to FCK in 2013. • 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. • Solbakken and Lehkosuo met as players in 1998 FIFA World Cup qualifying; Lehkosuo's Finland earned a 1-1 draw in Oslo, but Solbakken struck the first goal as Norway won the return fixture in Helsinki 4-0. 4 FC København - HJK Helsinki Thursday 18 September 2014 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Telia Parken, Copenhagen Team facts FC København Formed: 1992 Nickname: Løverne (The Lions) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • none Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 10 (2013) Danish Cup: 5 (2012) Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2013/14: UEFA Champions League group stage 2012/13: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2011/12: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2010/11: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2009/10: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2008/09: round of 32 2007/08: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2006/07: UEFA Champions League group stage 2005/06: first round 2004/05: UEFA Champions League second qualifying round Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 7-0: København v Cliftonville FC 31/07/08, UEFA Cup first qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 0-6 twice, most recently v FK Mogren 22/07/09, UEFA Champions League second qualifying round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-6: København v AC Milan 20/10/93, UEFA Champions League second round first leg • Heaviest away defeat 5-0 on three occasions, most recently v SK Hradec Králové 14/09/95, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup first round first leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 7-0: København v Cliftonville FC (see above) • Biggest away win 1-5: Mikkelin Palloilijat v København 30/09/92, first round second leg 0-4 twice, most recently v Cliftonville FC 17/07/08, first qualifying round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 1-3 twice, most recently v Olympique de Marseille 18/02/10, round of 32 first leg 0-2 on four occasions, most recently v VfB Stuttgart 08/11/12, group stage • Heaviest away defeat 5-0 twice, most recently v AJ Auxerre 21/10/92, second round first leg HJK Helsinki Formed: 1907 Nickname: Klubi (The Club) 5 FC København - HJK Helsinki Thursday 18 September 2014 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Telia Parken, Copenhagen UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • 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 6 FC København - HJK Helsinki Thursday 18 September 2014 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Telia Parken, Copenhagen Squad list FC København Current season All-time UCL UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
