Form guide • Turkish clubs are unbeaten in three games in Serbia (W1 D2) since the turn of the millennium. However, Galatasaray AŞ's 5-1 victory at OFK Beograd in 2010/11 UEFA Europa League qualifying remains the only triumph for a Turkish side on Serbian soil. • Partizan have yet to score in Group C; they have also gone 14 matches (D4 L10) without a UEFA group stage win since beating FC Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 in their final game of the 2009/10 UEFA Europa League. • Beşiktaş are unbeaten in five UEFA group stage encounters (W3 D2), having kicked off Group C with back-to-back 1-1 draws. Trivia and links • Partizan have failed to make it through their last five UEFA group stage campaigns since getting to the round of 16 via the inaugural UEFA Cup group stage in 2004/05. • This is Beşiktaş's sixth group stage campaign in this competition; they failed to make it through three UEFA Cup group stages but have progressed on both attempts since the advent of the UEFA Europa League. • Partizan's Saša Ilić (Galatasaray AŞ 2005-07) and Nikola Drinčić (Gaziantepspor 2006-07) both have Turkish league experience. The coaches • Just 35, Marko Nikolić took charge of Partizan in December 2013, having started his career as a youth coach at FK Rad, going on to coach their senior team, plus Serbia's Under-18 side and FK Vojvodina. • Beşiktaş coach since June 2013, Slaven Bilić earned a bronze medal as a defender with Croatia at the 1998 FIFA World Cup finals, and went on to lead his team to UEFA EURO 2008 and UEFA EURO 2012 as a coach. A rock music fan with a law degree, he was in charge at FC Lokomotiv Moskva before moving to Turkey. 3 FK Partizan - Beşiktaş JK Thursday 23 October 2014 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Stadion FK Partizan, Belgrade Team facts FK Partizan Formed: 1945 Nickname: Crno-beli (Black-and-Whites) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • European Champion Clubs' Cup: (1966) Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 25 (2013) Yugoslavian/Serbian Cup: 12 (2011) Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2013/14: play-offs (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2012/13: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2011/12: play-offs (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2010/11: UEFA Champions League group stage 2009/10: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2008/09: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2007/08: first qualifying round 2006/07: group stage 2005/06: first round (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2004/05: round of 16 Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 8-0: Partizan v Rhyl FC 21/07/09, UEFA Champions League second qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 1-6: HŠK Zrinjski v Partizan 19/07/07, UEFA Cup first qualifying round first leg 0-5: PFC Slavia Sofia v Partizan 12/10/88, UEFA Cup first round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 2-5: Partizan v Maccabi Petach-Tikva FC 29/09/05, UEFA Cup first round second leg 1-4 twice, most recently v AJ Auxerre 29/11/06, UEFA Cup group stage 0-3: Partizan v FC Shakhtar Donetsk 23/11/10, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 5-0 on three occasions, most recently v GNK Dinamo Zagreb 30/07/97, UEFA Champions League first qualifying round second leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 5-0 twice, most recently v SK Slavia Sofia 07/09/88, first round first leg • Biggest away win 1-6: HŠK Zrinjski v Partizan (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 2-5: Partizan v Maccabi Petach-Tikva FC (see above) 1-4 twice, most recently v AJ Auxerre (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 5-0: Videoton FC v Partizan 28/11/84, UEFA Cup third round first leg Beşiktaş JK 4 FK Partizan - Beşiktaş JK Thursday 23 October 2014 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Stadion FK Partizan, Belgrade Formed: 1903 Nickname: Kara Kartal (The Black Eagles) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • none Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 13 (2009) Turkish Cup: 9 (2011) Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless otherwise indicated) 2013/14: play-offs 2012/13: did not participate in UEFA competition 2011/12: round of 32 2010/11: round of 32 2009/10: UEFA Champions League group stage 2008/09: first round 2007/08: UEFA Champions League group stage 2006/07: group stage 2005/06: group stage 2004/05: group stage Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 5-1: Beşiktaş v Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC 15/09/11, UEFA Europa League group stage 5-1: Beşiktaş v FC Vaduz 25/08/05, UEFA Cup second qualifying round second leg 4-0: Beşiktaş JK v NK Široki Brijeg 28/08/08, UEFA Cup second qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 0-5: FK Sarejevo v Beşiktaş 03/10/02, UEFA Cup first round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-5: Beşiktaş v FC Dynamo Kyiv 14/03/87, European Champion Clubs' Cup quarter-finals first leg • Heaviest away defeat 8-0: Liverpool FC v Beşiktaş 06/11/07, UEFA Champions League group stage UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 5-1: Beşiktaş v Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC (see above) 5-1: Beşiktaş v FC Vaduz (see above) 4-0: Beşiktaş JK v NK Široki Brijeg (see above) • Biggest away win 0-5: FK Sarejevo v Beşiktaş (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 1-4: Beşiktaş v FC Dynamo Kyiv 17/02/11, round of 32 first leg 0-3: Beşiktaş v Club Atlético de Madrid 15/03/12, round of 16 second leg • Heaviest away defeat 4-0: FC Dynamo Kyiv v Beşiktaş 24/02/11, round of 32 second leg 5 FK Partizan - Beşiktaş JK Thursday 23 October 2014 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Stadion FK Partizan, Belgrade Squad list FK Partizan Current season All-time UCL QUAL UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
