Match backgroundGalatasaray AŞ notched their first win in Europe in 11 matches with their home defeat of SL Benfica on matchdaythree. It revived their challenge for the qualifying places and put them in good heart for the return fixture.

• They were the first points Benfica have dropped in Group C and mean that, although they share first place with ClubAtlético de Madrid, their advantage over their Turkish opponents is now only two points.

Previous meetings• The teams met in the 2008/09 UEFA Cup group stage when Emre Aşık and Ümit Karan struck in Galatasaray's 2-0away victory. Luisão played in that contest.

• The lineups at the Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica on 6 November 2008 were:Benfica: Quim, Maxi Pereira, Luisão, Sidnei, Jorge Ribeiro, Di María, Katsouranis, Yebda (Carlos Martins 64), Reyes(Aimar 57), Nuno Gomes (Óscar Cardozo 60), Suazo.Galatasaray: De Sanctis, Sabri Sarıoğlu, Servet Çetin, Emre Aşık, Hakan Balta, Lincoln, Fernando Meira, AyhanAkman, Arda Turan (Volkan Yaman 90+3), Baroš (Mehmet Güven 81), Ümit Karan (Yıldız 84).

• In 2012/13 they edged out Fenerbahçe (0-1 away, 3-1 home) in the UEFA Europa League semi-finals but then lost2-1 to Chelsea FC in the final.

• The 2008 defeat by Galatasaray is Benfica's only blemish in an otherwise faultless home record against Turkishsides. They won all four other such fixtures, scoring 16 goals and conceding only once. Their overall record againstTurkish clubs is W4 D2 L4.

• When the Portuguese champions – European Champion Clubs' Cup winners in 1961 and 1962 – lost 2-0 to FC Zeniton last season's matchday one it was their first reverse in 14 European home encounters (W11 D2).

• Their other two home games last season produced a win and a draw, but it did not prevent them finishing bottom ofGroup C with five points.

• The Eagles have qualified for the knockout rounds in only one of their last seven UEFA Champions Leaguecampaigns (2011/12). That year Chelsea FC beat them 3-1 overall in the quarter-finals.

Galatasaray• Cimbom's only other visit to face Portuguese opposition also resulted in victory, winning 2-1 at SC Braga in the2012/13 UEFA Champions League group stage with Burak Yılmaz on the scoresheet to book their place in the roundof 16. They had lost the reverse fixture 2-0.

• The Turkish double winners, who are in their 14th group stage campaign and their fourth in succession, started thisseason with a 2-0 home defeat by Atlético before drawing 2-2 at Astana.

• In last season's group stage Galatasaray suffered successive 4-1 defeats on their travels against Arsenal FC andthen Borussia Dortmund before a third reversal, 2-0 at RSC Anderlecht, to finish bottom of Group D.

• Galatasarasay have not won an away UEFA Champions League match since a 3-2 victory at FC Schalke 04 in the2012/13 round of 16 second leg – their third away win in a row and one that secured a 4-3 aggregate triumph. Theiraway record since then is D2 L7.

• Cimbom's best performance came in 1988/89 when they reached the European Cup semi-finals.

Coach and player links• Turkey were 3-1 winners in a Lisbon friendly on 2 June 2012, their first victory against Portugal in 57 years. FourGalatasaray players – Selçuk İnan, Hamit Altıntop, Burak Yılmaz and Umut Bulut – were involved, Umut scoring twice.

• Lukas Podolski scored past Júlio César in the 2006/07 UEFA Champions League group stage as FC BayernMünchen won 2-0 at FC Internazionale Milano.

• Have played together: Fernando Muslera and Eliseu (SS Lazio, 2009/10)Wesley Sneijder and Júlio César (Inter, 2009–12)Lionel Carole and André Almeida (SL Benfica B, 2012/13)Carole and Jardel (SL Benfica, 2010/11 – SL Benfica B, 2012/13)Carole and Luisão (SL Benfica, 2010/11)
