Preview


AEL earned their first-leg victory through goals from Dosa Júnior and Rui Miguel, either side of Dieudonné Mbokani’s strike for Anderlecht. On their first trip to Belgium, the Cypriot underdogs will be determined to defend that lead but Anderlecht will have other ideas.

• John van den Brom’s Anderlecht can take heart from a run of four wins from their last five European fixtures at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium – including a 5-0 defeat of FK Ekranas in the third qualifying round.

• Anderlecht last overturned a first-leg deficit in Europe in the third qualifying round of the 2004/05 UEFA Champions League when they recovered from a 1-0 loss in Lisbon by beating SL Benfica 3-0 at home. Since then, however, they have lost seven successive knockout ties after defeat in the first leg.

• AEL are hoping to follow the lead of compatriots APOEL FC who sprang a succession of surprises en route to last season’s UEFA Champions League quarter-finals and they can draw encouragement from their defensive resilience on their travels so far – having earned a 0-0 draw at Linfield FC and a 1-0 victory at FK Partizan.

• The Cypriot champions’ progress is all the more impressive bearing in mind that before this season they had lost all five UEFA competition ties they had contested – starting with a 12-0 aggregate defeat by Real Madrid CF in the 1968/69 European Champion Clubs’ Cup first round.

• While AEL are looking to make history, Anderlecht’s goal is to breathe new life into theirs. The Brussels club have competed in the UEFA Champions League eight times but not since 2006/07, recording four successive failures in qualifying between 2007 and 2010.

• This is AEL’s first meeting with Belgian opposition but Anderlecht have played three previous knockout ties against teams from Cyprus, winning them all. In the 2000/01 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round they beat Anorthosis Famagusta FC 4-2 at home with the help of a Jan Koller hat-trick, then drew 0-0 in Cyprus.

Anderlecht match this season, because entry into the Champions League brings a significant amount of money for the club.

Coach Anderl. last meeting in the championship rested five key players, and it speaks of the importance of this match.

Anderlecht played very well in the preliminary matches and the Championship play very well.

The value of the team is estimated to be € 82,950,000.

Key players teams are: Suarez, Gillet, Mbokani, Bigio and Proto.

They have no major problems with the composition.

• During his loan spell at Cercle Brugge KSV during the 2010/11 season, Reynaldo suffered a 3-2 aggregate defeat by AEL’s domestic rivals Anorthosis Famagusta FC in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League – appearing as a substitute in the first leg and starting the second leg in Cyprus.
