Form guide • The only other Azeri side to reach the UEFA Europa League proper also met Inter in the group stage, Neftçi PFK losing 3-1 in Baku in 2012/13 but earning a 2-2 draw in the return fixture in Milan. • Inter have won all three of their European games this season, scoring ten goals without reply. They are unbeaten in seven continental matches at San Siro (W4 D3). • Qarabağ are on a run of three straight draws in UEFA competition. Trivia and links • This is Qarabağ's 50th UEFA fixture; the previous 49 ended W19 D12 L18. • The 1-0 win at FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk on matchday one was Inter's 350th European match; their record in those encounters is W175 D86 L89. • Neftçi PFK recorded three draws and three defeats in their pioneering group stage campaign. Qarabağ can thus break new ground and become the first Azerbaijani team to win a UEFA group stage game. The coaches • In charge at Inter since May 2013, Walter Mazzarri was a journeyman midfielder who worked his way up the divisions as a coach. After a notable spell at UC Sampdoria, he led SSC Napoli to Coppa Italia glory in 2011/12 and a runners-up finish in Serie A the following season before switching to Inter. • Mazzarri turns 53 on the eve of the Qarabağ game. • Qarabağ coach Gurban Gurbanov is Azerbaijan's all-time top scorer at international level with 14 goals. He played in Russia but enjoyed perhaps his most celebrated years with Neftçi, where he later started out as a coach. In charge at Qarabağ since 2008, he led the club to their second title – after a 21-year wait – last season. 3 FC Internazionale Milano - Qarabağ FK Thursday 2 October 2014 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Stadio San Siro, Milan Team facts FC Internazionale Milano Formed: 1908 Nicknames: Nerazzurri (Black and Blues), La Beneamata (The Beloved) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • European Champion Clubs' Cup (3): 1964, 1965, (1967), (1972), 2010 • UEFA Cup (3): 1991, 1994, (1997), 1998 • European/South American Cup (2): 1964, 1965 Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 18 (2010) Italian Cup: 7 (2011) Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2013/14: did not take part in UEFA competition 2012/13: round of 16 2011/12: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2010/11: UEFA Champions League quarter-finals 2009/10: UEFA Champions League winners 2008/09: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2007/08: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2006/07: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2005/06: UEFA Champions League quarter-finals 2004/05: UEFA Champions League quarter-finals Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 6-0 twice, most recently v Stjarnan 28/08/14, UEFA Europa League play-off second leg • Biggest away win 1-5: Valencia CF v Inter 20/10/04, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest home defeat 1-5: Inter v Arsenal FC 25/11/03, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 5-1: Real Madrid CF v Inter 16/04/86, UEFA Cup semi-final second leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League Biggest home win 6-0: Inter v Stjarnan (see above) Biggest away win 0-3 twice, most recently v Stjarnan 20/08/14, UEFA Europa League play-off first leg Heaviest home defeat 1-3: Inter v FC Bayern München 07/12/88, third round second leg 0-2 twice, most recently v HNK Hajduk Split 09/08/12, third qualifying round second leg Heaviest away defeat 5-1: Real Madrid CF v Inter (see above) Qarabağ FK Formed: 1951 Nickname: Atlılar (The Horsemen) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) 4 FC Internazionale Milano - Qarabağ FK Thursday 2 October 2014 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Stadio San Siro, Milan • none Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) Domestic title: 2 (2014) Azerbaijani Cup: 3 (2009) Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2013/14: play-offs 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2011/12: third qualifying round 2010/11: play-offs 2009/10: play-offs 2008/09: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2007/08: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2006/07: first qualifying round 2005/06: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2004/05: first qualifying round Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 4-0: Qarabağ v Valletta FC 22/07/14, UEFA Europa League second qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 0-4: FK Banga v Qarabağ 30/06/11, UEFA Europa League first qualifying round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-4: Qarabağ v FC København 27/08/98, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup qualifying phase second leg • Heaviest away defeat 6-0: FC København v Qarabağ 13/08/98, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup qualifying phase first leg 6-0: Montpellier Herault SC v Qarabağ 10/07/99, UEFA Intertoto Cup second round second leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 4-0: Qarabağ v Valletta FC (see above) • Biggest away win 0-4: FK Banga v Qarabağ (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 0-3: Qarabağ v FK Jablonec 30/07/97, first qualifying phase second leg • Heaviest away defeat 5-0: FK Jablonec v Qarabağ 23/07/97, first qualifying phase first leg 5 FC Internazionale Milano - Qarabağ FK Thursday 2 October 2014 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Stadio San Siro, Milan Squad list FC Internazionale Milano Current season All-time QUAL UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
