Match background
• CKSA recorded five straight home wins last term as they advanced to the UEFA Cup round of 16. To have any chance of progressing from Group B they will have to improve on their efforts in Moscow during their last UEFA Champions League campaign, when they took just one point at the Luzhniki in 2007/08.
• Besiktas have their own grounds for improvement – the visitors suffered from a severe case of travel sickness on their last appearance in the UEFA Champions League group stage in 2007/08, losing all three away games, including an 8-0 reverse at Liverpool FC.
• CSKA have had mixed fortunes against Turkish opposition. In the 2007/08 group stage they finished bottom of their section after a home draw and away defeat against Beşiktaş's city rivals Fenerbahçe SK.
• In the 1971/72 European Champion Clubs' Cup first round they beat Galatasaray AŞ 3-0 at home to complete a 4-1 aggregate success.
• Beşiktaş are unbeaten against Russian opposition, their most recent encounter with a Premier-Liga team coming in the 2005/06 UEFA Cup group stage when they drew 1-1 at home to FC Zenit St. Petersburg.
• The newly returned Beşiktaş striker Nihat Kahveci will have fond memories of the club's only other encounter with a Russian outfit – a 6-1 aggregate triumph over FC Lokomotiv Moskva in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round in August 2000. Nihat found the net in both meetings, a 3-0 home win and the ensuing 3-1 triumph in Moscow.
Team ties

• Denizli returned to Russia as coach of the Turkish national team in April 1998 and lost 1-0.
• Beşiktaş defender Matteo Ferrari enjoyed a UEFA Cup victory against CSKA in the 2002/03 first round. Ferrari's Parma FC drew 1-1 in Moscow then prevailed 3-2 back in Italy. CSKA's Deividas Šemberas, Elvir Rahimić and Aleksei Berezutski featured in the second leg.
