Previous meetings • This is the sides' first meeting in UEFA competition. • Villarreal have won all four of their previous games against Belarusian teams, scoring nine goals combined in their two home victories. • Dinamo Minsk's only encounters to date with Spanish clubs were a pair of draws against Real Sociedad de Fútbol in the 1987/88 European Cup Winners' Cup second round. They progressed on away goals thanks to a 1-1 draw in San Sebastian. Form guide • Dinamo have not scored in normal time in their last three European fixtures, two of them Group E defeats. • Villarreal registered an impressive 15 goals in last season's UEFA Europa League group stage, five of them away from home. They scored at least once in all 12 of their European matches in 2014/15: 29 goals in total. • Dinamo Minsk have reached this stage for the second season in succession – they did not progress to the round of 32 in 2014/15. Trivia and links • The journey from Minsk to Villarreal is around 2,600km. The coaches • Villarreal coach Marcelino's career as a midfielder was ended early by injury. As a coach, he worked his way up the Spanish leagues, taking over at his current club in 2013 following spells at Real Zaragoza, Real Racing Club and Sevilla FC. • Former FK Partizan defender Vuk Rašović has been in charge of Dinamo Minsk since the summer, having stepped up to a front-line role after a spell as the club's director of football. He had previously been on the coaching staff at Partizan and their feeder club FK Teleoptik. 3 Villarreal CF - FC Dinamo Minsk Thursday 22 October 2015 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Estadio El Madrigal, Villarreal Team facts Villarreal CF Formed: 1923 Nickname: El Submarino Amarillo (The Yellow Submarine) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • UEFA Intertoto Cup (2): 2003, 2004 Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) None Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: round of 16 2013/14: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2011/12: UEFA Champions League group stage 2010/11: semi-finals 2009/10: round of 32 2008/09: UEFA Champions League quarter-finals 2007/08: round of 32 2006/07: UEFA Intertoto Cup third round 2005/06: UEFA Champions League semi-finals Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 6-1: Villarreal v NAC Breda 27/08/09, UEFA Europa League play-off second leg 5-0: Villarreal v FC Dnepr Mogilev 19/08/10, UEFA Europa League play-off first leg • Biggest away win 0-3 three times, most recently v FC Astana 21/08/14, UEFA Europa League play-off first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-3: Villarreal v Manchester City FC 02/11/11, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 5-1: FC Porto v Villarreal 28/04/11, UEFA Europa League semi-final first leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 6-1: Villarreal v NAC Breda (see above) 5-0: Villarreal v FC Dnepr Mogilev (see above) • Biggest away win 0-3: FC Astana v Villarreal (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 1-3: Villarreal v Sevilla FC 12/03/15, round of 16 first leg • Heaviest away defeat 5-1: FC Porto v Villarreal (see above) FC Dinamo Minsk Formed: 1927 Nickname: Belo-Golubye (White-Blues) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • none Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 8 (2004) 4 Villarreal CF - FC Dinamo Minsk Thursday 22 October 2015 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Estadio El Madrigal, Villarreal Belarusian Cup: 3 (2003) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: group stage 2013/14: third qualifying round 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2011/12: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2010/11: play-offs 2009/10: second qualifying round 2008/09: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2007/08: second qualifying round 2006/07: second qualifying round 2005/06: UEFA Champions League first qualifying round Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 6-0: Dinamo v CS Hobscheid 16/06/01, UEFA Intertoto Cup first round first leg • Biggest away win 0-6: HJK Helsinki v Dinamo 03/10/84, UEFA Cup first round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 1-4: Dinamo v PFC CSKA Sofia 15/08/02, UEFA Cup qualifying round first leg 0-3: Dinamo v ACF Fiorentina 02/10/14, UEFA Europa League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 6-1: PAOK FC v Dinamo 18/09/14, UEFA Europa League group stage 5-0: SV Werder Bremen v Dinamo 17/10/95, UEFA Cup second round first leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 5-0: Dinamo v FK Kruoja 11/07/13, UEFA Europa League first qualifying round first leg • Biggest away win 0-6: HJK Helsinki v Dinamo (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 1-4: Dinamo v PFC CSKA Sofia (see above) 0-3: Dinamo v ACF Fiorentina • Heaviest away defeat 6-1: PAOK FC v Dinamo (see above) 5-0: SV Werder Bremen v Dinamo (see above) 5 Villarreal CF - FC Dinamo Minsk Thursday 22 October 2015 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Estadio El Madrigal, Villarreal Squad list Villarreal CF Current season All-time UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
