Previous meetings • Cédric Bakambu's first two goals in UEFA competition set Villarreal en route to a 4-0 victory in the sides' first meeting, on matchday three. • Dinamo Minsk's only previous encounters 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. • Villarreal have won all five of their previous fixtures against Belarusian teams, scoring 17 goals and conceding only two. Form guide • If Dinamo Minsk fail to win, they will almost certainly be out – a draw would theoretically keep them in the running, but their qualification would depend upon a very unlikely set of results in the remaining games. • Skënderbeu and Dinamo Minsk are the only clubs to have lost all three of their group stage games this term. • Dinamo Minsk are the only team yet to score in this season's group stage. No team has reached the end of a UEFA Europa League group stage without finding the net. • Dinamo Minsk have reached this stage for the second season in succession – they did not progress to the round of 32 in 2014/15. • 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. Trivia and links • The journey from Villarreal to Minsk is around 2,600km. • Dinamo Minsk forward Fatos Bećiraj can make his 50th UEFA club competition appearance on matchday four. The coaches • 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. • 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. 3 FC Dinamo Minsk - Villarreal CF Thursday 5 November 2015 - 19.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Borisov-Arena, Borisov Team facts 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) 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) Villarreal CF Formed: 1923 Nickname: El Submarino Amarillo (The Yellow Submarine) 4 FC Dinamo Minsk - Villarreal CF Thursday 5 November 2015 - 19.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Borisov-Arena, Borisov 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) 5 FC Dinamo Minsk - Villarreal CF Thursday 5 November 2015 - 19.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Borisov-Arena, Borisov Squad list FC Dinamo Minsk Current season All-time QUAL UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
