3 Wisła Kraków APOEL FC Wednesday August.CET (. local time) Match background Having never previously progressed beyond the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League Wisła Kraków hope to finally make their groupstage debut this season, but must first find a way past miserly APOEL FC. Previous meetings The sides are meeting for the first time in UEFA competition in what is also APOEL's first game against a Polish team. Wisła's only previous experience of Cypriot opposition came against AC Omonia in the / UEFA Champions League second qualifying round, when they won at home and drew away. Maciej Żurawski, who scored twice in both legs, played for Omonia in 9/, helping them to the Cypriot title. Match background Wisła, European Champion Clubs' Cup quarterfinalists in 98/9, have won all four of their games in Europe this season and have lost only once in their last nine continental home fixtures, to Qarabağ FK in last term's third qualifying round first leg. APOEL are unbeaten in their last five European games since a loss at Getafe CF in the first leg of last season's UEFA Europa League playoffs. They have not conceded a goal in four outings this season. That loss at Getafe is APOEL's only defeat in their last five European games on the road. Polish champions Wisła have yet to feature in the UEFA Champions League group stage, though they did appear in the UEFA Cup group stage in 6/. This is the seventh time Wisła have featured in UEFA Champions League qualifying. In each of their six previous campaigns they bowed out in the third qualifying round, when that was the final hurdle before the group stage, against some daunting opposition (FC Barcelona in / and 8/9, Real Madrid CF in /). This season's victories against Skonto FC (agg: ) and PFC Litex Lovech (agg: ) were the first time Wisła had won successive qualifying round games. APOEL made their only groupstage appearance in 9/, the season after Anorthosis Famagusta FC became the first Cypriot side to reach that stage of the UEFA Champions League. Under Ivan Jovanović, their coach since 8, APOEL finished bottom of their section but twice held Club Atlético de Madrid and earned a draw at Chelsea FC. They lost their other three games by onegoal margins. Prior to 9/ APOEL had featured in three qualifying campaigns. They made it from the first to the third qualifying round in /, but lost on aggregate to AEK Athens FC. AC Sparta Praha eliminated them in the second qualifying round (agg: ) in /, and BATE were too strong (agg: ) in the first qualifying round in /8. In 9/ they went from the second qualifying round to the group stage, beating EB/Streymur (agg: ), FK Partizan (agg: ) and, in the playoffs, FC København (agg: ). This season APOEL passed through the second and third qualifying rounds without conceding a goal, beating KS Skënderbeu (agg: 6) and ŠK Slovan Bratislava (agg: ). They are thus unbeaten in five UEFA Champions League qualifying ties. Team ties Now at GKS Bełchatów, midfielder Kamil Kosowski played for Wisła from 999 and again in, winning three Polish league titles. He then represented APOEL from 8 to and was among the scorers as they beat FCK in the playoffs to reach the 9/ UEFA Champions League group stage. Fellow Poles Marcin Żewłakow and Adrian Sikora also featured in APOEL's maiden group campaign. Another player to appear for both clubs was Bartłomiej Jamróz, who was at Wisla from 999 and at APOEL in /6. Other Polish players to represent APOEL are Wojciech Kowalczyk who was the first in / and Andrzej Kryszałowicz and Jarosław Popiela. Former Poland coach Jerzy Engel had spells in charge of both sides. He oversaw Wisła's aggregate loss to Panathinaikos FC in the third qualifying round in /6, then took charge of APOEL, leading them to the Cypriot Cup that same season. APOEL's only other Polish coach was Jacek Gmoch, who had a spell with the Cypriot club from 99 to 99. Last updated 6/8/ ::CET Match background

There are two qualifying routes; the Champions Route and the League Route. Champions Route: The first qualifying round comprises two twolegged ties involving the champions of the countries ranked to in UEFA competition. The winners of those ties progress to the second qualifying round where they are joined by the champions of the countries ranked to 9 (except Liechtenstein).

These five playoff ties will take place on a homeandaway basis with the winners qualifying for the UEFA Champions League group stage. League Route: The thirdplaced side from the sixthranked member association, plus the runnersup from the associations ranked to, start the competition in the third qualifying round. The winners of these five ties progress to the playoff round, where they are joined by the fourthplaced sides from the associations ranked to and the thirdplaced teams from the associations ranked and. The victorious teams from the five playoff ties qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stage. Teams from the Champions Route and the League Route cannot meet in UEFA Champions League qualifying.

The losing team from each of the UEFA Champions League playoff ties will go into the UEFA Europa League group stage. The team who finishes in third position in each of the UEFA Champions League groups goes into the UEFA Europa League Round of. The four best thirdranked teams will be seeded for the Round of with the group winners of the UEFA Europa League group stage.
