RSC Anderlecht and FC Bayern München will play their ninth game against each other in the UEFA Cup Round of 16, having first met in the 1976 UEFA Super Cup.
Bayern and Anderlecht have encountered each other on eight previous occasions, with the German side winning four, drawing two and losing two. The aggregate score from those meetings is 14-11 to the Bavarians.
Their most recent meeting was in the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League group stage. The first meeting in Brussels ended in a 1-1 draw, with Roque Santa Cruz cancelling out Ivica Mornar's opener for Anderlecht. Bayern won their home fixture 1-0, with Roy Makaay scoring the only goal from the penalty spot.
Of the current Anderlecht side, goalkeeper Daniel Zítka and defender Olivier Deschacht played in both legs of the tie, while midfielder Mark De Man was an unused substitute in the first fixture.
Bayern were coached by Ottmar Hitzfeld in both legs of that game and Oliver Kahn started the two games, with Bastian Schweinsteiger twice coming on as a substitute.
Prior to those ties, the sides had met in two European Champion Clubs' Cup quarter-finals and the 1976 UEFA Super Cup. Of those two-legged ties, Anderlecht won two and Bayern one.
Their first meeting was in the 1976 Super Cup. Bayern had beaten AS Saint-Etienne 1-0 to win the European Cup in Glasgow, while Anderlecht beat West Ham United FC 4-2 in Brussels to take the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.
Dettmar Cramer's Bayern won the first leg in Munich 2-1, with Gerhard Müller scoring twice following an Arie Haan opener for Anderlecht. Raymond Goethals' Anderlecht took a 3-0 lead in the second leg through goals from Rob Rensenbrink, Franky Van Der Elst and Haan, and although Müller grabbed a goal back, Rensenbrink struck again to win the match 4-1 and the tie 5-3 on aggregate.
