Both have plenty of recent experience of reaching that stage, and will be eager to make early inroads in a section that also includes Galatasaray and Lokomotiv Moskva. Previous meetings • It was Schalke who came out on top in the penalty shoot-out 11 seasons ago, after Kevin Kuranyi's fourth-minute first-leg goal in Gelsenkirchen had been cancelled out by Lisandro López with only four minutes to play in Porto. The German side held their nerve in the shoot-out, however, converting all of their kicks to win 4-1. • The German club had also had the better of the sides' other tie, in the 1976/77 UEFA Cup first round, even after letting slip a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 in the away first leg. Schalke progressed with a 3-2 home victory, scoring twice in the last four minutes to secure the win. Form guide Schalke • Bundesliga runners-up in 2017/18 – their highest league placing since 2009/10 – this is Schalke's first UEFA Champions League group campaign since 2014/15, their third successive appearance. • Semi-finalists in 2011, Schalke's last three UEFA Champions League campaigns have all ended in the round of 16. • Schalke have lost their last two home matches in the competition, and won only one of their last five UEFA Champions League games in Gelsenkirchen (D1 L3). • Schalke are, however, unbeaten in six home European fixtures (W4 D2). • The German club did not take part in European competition last season, having reached the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals in 2016/17, where they lost to eventual runners-up Ajax.
