Uefa.com preview for the game
Fenerbahçe face up to PSV
Sunday, 25 September 2005
Fenerbahçe SK finished their 2004/05 UEFA Champions League campaign with a 3-0 home win against Manchester United FC, and will look for similar form in their first home match this season following their 3-1 defeat at AC Milan on Matchday 1. The Turkish champions play host to PSV Eindhoven, who opened with a 1-0 home win against FC Schalke 04 as the Dutch champions aim to progress from the group stage for the second successive season.
One previous meeting: For the previous meeting between the clubs in UEFA competition, the clock has to go back 27 years, to September 1978 in the first round of the 1978/79 European Champion Clubs' Cup. The first leg was staged in Istanbul with Fenerbahçe winning 2-1 after first-half goals by Rasit Çetiner and Emin Ilhan, Ernestus Brandts responding for PSV.
But the second leg saw PSV run away with the tie. Willy van der Kuijlen scored four times, Gerrie Deijkers added two more, and Fenerbahce were left with Rasit's consolation goal as PSV won 6-1 and 7-3 on aggregate. But PSV, the UEFA Cup holders, were then beaten 3-2 on aggregate by Rangers FC in the next round.
One home win in four: The win against PSV in 1978 remains the only home success in four ties against Dutch opponents for Fenerbahçe, and the only time the Turkish side have managed to score.
The defunct DWS Amsterdam FC won their preliminary-round tie in the 1964/65 Champion Clubs' Cup with a 3-1 home win, followed by a 1-0 success in Turkey. AFC Ajax then won both legs 2-0 against Fenerbahçe in their 1968/69 Champion Clubs' Cup second-round tie, while Feyenoord qualified for the first group stage of the 2002/03 Champions League with a 1-0 home win followed by a 2-0 victory in Istanbul in the third qualifying round.
No wins from Turkish trips: Similarly PSV have failed to win any of their four matches to date in Istanbul. Their 1978 defeat was followed by a 2-0 loss at Galatasaray SK in the first round of the 1987/88 Champion Clubs' Cup, but the Dutch did have the cushion of a 3-0 home first-leg win, and eventually went on to win the trophy.
One draw from four away matches: In the first round of the 1991/92 Champion Clubs' Cup, PSV drew at Besiktas JK 1-1, but won 2-1 at the Philips stadium to progress again. PSV were then grouped with Galatasaray SK in the first group stage of the 2001/02 Champions League, and both won their home games, 3-1 to PSV, and 2-0 to Galatasaray, to leave PSV with a record of a draw and three losses in their previous travels to Istanbul.
MILESTONES
Goalscoring run: Fenerbahçe have scored in their last seven Champions League games, after scoring in all six group games last season.
Five wins from 19 matches: After their loss at Milan on the opening match of this season, Fenerbahçe have lost 13 of their 19 Champions League games with five wins and a draw.
Three home wins from nine: Fenerbahçe have won three of their nine home games, and in all of those wins goalkeeper Rüstü Reçber kept clean sheets - the only times a shutout has been registered by Fenerbahçe in home games.
Biggest victory: The last home game, in the 2004/05 group stage, produced the biggest win for Fenerbahçe in the competition a 3-0 success against Manchester United FC.
First Turkish hat-trick: In the win against United, Tuncay Sanli scored a hat-trick, the first by a Turkish player in the competition.
No goalless draws: Fenerbahçe have never been involved in a 0-0 draw, and their only draw was in their first-ever match in the competition against SK Rapid Wien (1-1) in September 1996.
Tenth campaign: This is the tenth season for PSV in the UEFA Champions League, along with six other clubs, and one behind the leaders Manchester United and FC Porto.
Beaten last time away: PSV lost their last away game in the competition, their first leg of the semi-final at Milan by 2-0, but had won at AS Monaco FC 2-0 in the first knockout round and drawn 1-1 at Olympique Lyonnais in the quarter-final.
Six European semi-finals: Last season was the sixth semi-final for PSV but the first since 1988 when they won the Champion Clubs' Cup. Prior to 2004/05, they had twice reached the last four of both the Champion Clubs' Cup and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and played in one UEFA Cup semi-final.
First time past group stage: Last season, PSV made it through to the first knockout round for the first time in nine attempts after finishing runners-up to Arsenal FC in the group stage. In 1997/98, PSV finished second to FC Dynamo Kyiv but the rules at the time allowed only the six group winners and the best two runners-up to progress. PSV were one of the six clubs whose record in finishing second denied them a place in the last eight.
Involved on opening night: PSV were one of the eight clubs who took part in the first Champions League group stage when it began in November 1992. The eight were Olympique de Marseille, Rangers FC, Club Brugge KV and CSKA Moskva in Group A whilst Milan, IFK Göteborg, Porto and PSV all contested Group B.
I say Fenerbahce are on a high rise, and PSV is about to hit ground zero.
