The Ligue 1 team will secure a top-two finish if they win and Celtic FC fail to beat second-placed FC Bayern München, or if Paris draw and Celtic lose. • Anderlecht are still seeking their first point and goal in Group B, and will be unable to finish in the top two if they lose again and Bayern avoid defeat at Celtic. Should Anderlecht draw, they would still be out if Bayern win in Scotland. Previous meetings • The clubs' last fixture in Brussels brought Anderlecht's joint-biggest European home defeat and Paris's joint-biggest away victory. Zlatan Ibrahimović scored four times in Paris's 5-0 victory, with Edinson Cavani getting the other. • Ibrahimović also hit the Paris goal in a 1-1 draw at the Parc des Princes on 5 November 2013; Demy De Zeeuw had given Anderlecht the lead, the visitors ending with ten men after Sacha Kljestan collected a second yellow card in the 82nd minute. • The teams at the Parc des Princes on 5 November 2013 were: Paris: Sirigu, Van der Wiel, Marquinhos (Thiago Silva 62), Alex, Maxwell, Motta, Matuidi, Verratti (Ménez 76), Lucas, Lavezzi (Pastore 75), Ibrahimović. Anderlecht: Kaminski, Kljestan, Mbemba, N'Sakala, Praet (Acheampong 79), Deschacht, Milivojević, Kouyaté, De Zeeuw (Nuytinck 90+1), Vanden Borre, Mitrović (Tielemans 87). • That 2013 game in Belgium was the first meeting between the teams for 21 years. They played out two draws when facing each other in the 1992/93 UEFA Cup third round, 0-0 in Paris and 1-1 in Brussels – which took Paris through on away goals. Match background Paris • Having won 5-0 at Celtic on matchday one, Paris were then 3-0 victors against Bayern in their first home fixture. • Paris have lost just one of their last 44 European home games since crashing 4-2 to Hapoel Tel-Aviv FC in the 2006/07 UEFA Cup group stage (W28 D15) – going down 3-1 to FC Barcelona in the 2014/15 quarter-finals. • They picked up five points at home in last season's group stage (W1 D2). • Paris have lost only one of their nine matches against Belgian opposition, 3-0 at KSV Waterschei in their 1982/83 European Cup Winners' Cup quarter-final second leg (2-3 aggregate). • Paris earned their biggest-ever European win against Belgian opponents, thrashing KAA Gent 7-1 at home in the 2001 Intertoto Cup semi-final having drawn 0-0 away. • Anderlecht aside, Paris have therefore won their other two games at home to Belgian visitors. • Quarter-finalists in four successive seasons between 2013 and 2016, Paris were on the wrong end of the biggest comeback in UEFA Champions League history in last term's round of 16. Having won 4-0 at home to Barcelona, the French outfit succumbed 6-1 in the away leg to bow out – with Neymar, now of Paris, providing two Barça goals and an assist. Anderlecht • The Belgian champions lost their first two Group B matches 3-0, away to Bayern München on matchday one and then against Celtic in Brussels in their second fixture. • Anderlecht drew 1-1 at AS Saint-Étienne in last season's UEFA Europa League group stage, yet lost 3-2 at home to the French club. • Overall their record against French teams is W7 D10 L6; away it is W3 D6 L2. • Anderlecht have not won an away game in the UEFA Champions League, group stage to final, since a 1-0 victory at Real Betis Balompié on 6 December 2005.
