What they say Anderlecht coach Besnik Hasi: "Dinamo Moskva are a quality team, very difficult opponents. Steven Defour is feeling much better and joined us for training today; we will decide on Thursday if he plays. It is very difficult to replace a player like Steven. We will miss Denis Praet and [Ibrahima] Conté, too. Dinamo are a great team but like in the Champions League we will have extra motivation." Dinamo Moskva coach Stanislav Cherchesov: "It will be a very interesting game with a lot of pressure on both teams. Anderlecht played very well in the Champions League and it is a very well-known club in Europe. Aleksei Ionov has flu and Igor Denisov is recovering from serious injury – we will discover whether or not they are ready in training. We are very happy to have Valbuena with us." Previous meetings • The sides are meeting for the first time in UEFA competition. • Anderlecht's home games against Russian clubs tend to be high-scoring; their six such home matches to date have included 29 goals – 16 for the home team, 13 for the visitors. • Dinamo's most recent fixture in Belgium was also a thriller: they beat RFC Seraing 4-3 in a UEFA Cup first-round clash in September 1994. Form guide • Anderlecht's 2-0 win against Galatasaray AŞ in their final 2014/15 UEFA Champions League group stage home game ended a run of six straight European home defeats. It was their sole victory in their last 14 European matches (W1 D5 L8). • The only side to make it through the UEFA Europa League group stage with a 100% record, Dinamo last featured in the spring phase of a UEFA competition when they bowed out to SK Rapid Wien in the 1995/96 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup quarter-finals. • Dinamo are one of five teams to have advanced from the third qualifying round to the round of 32 along with BSC Young Boys, Club Brugge KV, PSV Eindhoven and Torino FC. They are unbeaten in those ten games (W8 D2) and have won all five European away matches this term, all by one-goal margins. Trivia and links • Dinamo's French midfielder William Vainqueur played alongside Anderlecht's Steven Defour (2011–12) and Cyriac (2011–14) during his time at R. Standard de Liège. • Defour can make his 50th UEFA club competition appearance in the Dinamo game. • Anderlecht (Belgium) are one of seven reigning domestic champions in the round of 32, along with Legia Warszawa (Poland), Aalborg BK (Denmark), FC Salzburg (Austria), Celtic FC (Scotland), Olympiacos FC (Greece), and AFC Ajax (Netherlands). • Anderlecht (1983) are among 11 former UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League winners in the last 32 along with Tottenham Hotspur FC (1972 and 1984), Liverpool FC (1973, 1976 and 2001), VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach (1974 and 1979), Feyenoord (1975 and 2002), PSV Eindhoven (1978), SSC Napoli (1989), FC Internazionale Milano (1991, 1994 and 1998), Ajax (1992), holders Sevilla FC (2006, 2007 and 2013) and FC Zenit (2008). The coaches • Anderlecht coach Besnik Hasi was capped 47 times by Albania, but spent the bulk of his playing career in Belgium, winning a championship with KRC Genk in 1998/99 and then three more with Anderlecht. The midfielder returned to Brussels to join Anderlecht's coaching staff in 2008, and took sole command last March, helping steer the club to the Belgian title. • Dinamo coach since April 2014, Stanislav Cherchesov made his name as a goalkeeper with FC Spartak Moskva, 1. FC Dynamo Dresden and FC Tirol Innsbruck, also playing international football for the Soviet Union, the CIS and Russia. As a player, he claimed three Austrian titles with Tirol, going on to coach FC Wacker Innsbruck along with a number of Russian sides including Spartak. 4 RSC Anderlecht - FC Dinamo Moskva Thursday 19 February 2015 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Constant Vanden Stock Stadium, Brussels Team facts RSC Anderlecht Formed: 1908 Nicknames: Paars-wit (Purple and Whites, Dutch), Les Mauves et Blancs (Purple and Whites, French) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (2): 1976, (1977), 1978, (1990) • UEFA Cup (1): 1983, (1984) • UEFA Super Cup (2): 1976, 1978 Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 33 (2014) Belgian Cup: 9 (2008) Ten-year European record (UEFA Champions League unless indicated otherwise) 2013/14: group stage 2012/13: group stage 2011/12: UEFA Europa League round of 32 2010/11: UEFA Europa League round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2009/10: UEFA Europa League round of 16 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2008/09: second qualifying round 2007/08: UEFA Cup round of 16 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2006/07: group stage 2005/06: group stage 2004/05: group stage Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 9-0: Anderlecht v Derry City FC 23/11/65, European Champion Clubs' Cup first round first leg • Biggest away win 1-10: FC Haka v Anderlecht 14/09/66, European Champion Clubs' Cup first round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-5: Anderlecht v Paris Saint-Germain 23/10/13, UEFA Champions League group stage 0-5: Anderlecht v FC Bayern München 06/03/08, UEFA Cup round of 16 first leg • Heaviest away defeat 10-0: Manchester United FC v Anderlecht 26/09/56, European Champion Clubs' Cup preliminary round second leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 6-1: Anderlecht v Leiftur 12/08/09, qualifying round first leg 6-1: Anderlecht v FK Sarajevo 24/11/82, third round first leg 5-0: Anderlecht v FC Tiligul Tiraspol 29/07/98, first qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 0-3 on five occasions, most recently v FC Midtjylland 14/11/02, second round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-5: Anderlecht v
