PSV Eindhoven and FC Zenit go head-to-head in the UEFA Europa League round of 32 with both sides looking to get their hands on the trophy for a second time. Phillip Cocu will look to end FC Zenit’s 100% record in UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League round of 32 ties as the two former winners meet in the Netherlands.
Previous meetings
• The sides are meeting for the first time in UEFA club competition.
• PSV have already faced Russian opponents this season, losing 1-0 home and away against FC Dinamo Moskva. The Dutch team had won their previous two meetings with Russian sides in Eindhoven.
• Zenit lost 3-2 on aggregate to FC Twente in the 2010/11 UEFA Europa League round of 16 in their only previous two-legged tie against Dutch opponents, falling just short of overturning a 3-0 first-leg defeat.
