Previous meetings • Dnipro drew 0-0 in France last term and then won 1-0 in Kyiv, Artem Fedetskiy scoring the only goal. That matchday six victory put Dnipro into the round of 32 and confirmed St-Étienne as the bottom side in their section. • The teams for that encounter in Ukraine on 11 December 2014 were: Dnipro: Boyko, Vlad, Kravchenko, Kalinić, Konoplyanka, Cheberyacko, Zozulya (Gama 67), Douglas, Shakhov (Matheus 67), Rotan (Politylo 88), Fedetskiy. St-Étienne: Ruffier, Théophile-Catherine, Gradel, Mollo (Hamouma 60), Van Wolfswinkel, Lemoine, Pogba, Brison (Tabanou 83), Monnet-Paquet (Cohade 80), Perrin, Diomandé. Form guide • Dnipro are unbeaten in Group G having scored a single goal in each of their two games (W1 D1). Having played their European home matches in Kyiv last season, they are back at the Dnipro Arena – where their record in 14 UEFA fixtures is W10 D2 L2. • St-Étienne have scored twice in each of their Group G assignments but did not win either (D1 L1). • Dnipro have negotiated four of their previous five UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League group stage campaigns, including the last three. • St-Étienne made it through the UEFA Cup group stage at the first attempt in 2008/09 but missed the cut last season in their first UEFA Europa League group stage tilt. Trivia and links • The journey from Saint-Etienne to Dnipropetrovsk is around 2,350km. • This is Dnipro's 100th UEFA Europa League game; their previous 99 games have ended W46 D22 L31. • Dnipro midfielders Jon Jairo Ruiz (LOSC Lille) and Léo Matos (Olympique de Marseille) have played in France. • Dnipro's Ruslan Rotan and Roman Zozulya were involved as France beat Ukraine in the November 2013 play-offs for the FIFA World Cup finals. Ukraine won 2-0 at home but lost the return leg 3-0 in Saint-Denis. The coaches • Dnipro coach Myron Markevych led his side to the 2015 UEFA Europa League final in his first season at the helm. The one-time midfielder enjoyed success at home and in the UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League in charge of an exciting FC Metalist Kharkiv squad. He was briefly Ukraine boss in 2010. • St-Étienne coach since 2009, Christophe Galtier led Les Verts to French League Cup success in 2012/13. A defender, he started his playing career at home-town club Marseille. He returned to OM as a coach and worked as assistant to Alain Perrin at St-Étienne before getting the senior job. 4 FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk - AS Saint-Étienne Thursday 22 October 2015 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Dnipro Arena, Dnipropetrovsk Team facts FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk Formed: 1918 Nickname: Dnipryani (Dnepr-siders) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • UEFA Europa League: (2015) Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) National title: 2 (1988) Domestic cup: 1 (1989) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: runners-up (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2013/14: round of 32 2012/13: round of 32 2011/12: play-offs 2010/11: play-offs 2009/10: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2008/09: second qualifying round 2007/08: first round 2006/07: UEFA Intertoto Cup third round 2005/06: group stage Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 6-1: Dnipro v FC Yerevan 23/07/97, UEFA Cup first qualifying round first leg • Biggest away win 0-3: MFK Petržalka v Dnipro 12/08/04, UEFA Cup second qualifying round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 1-4: Dnipro v FC Alania Vladikavkaz 26/08/97, UEFA Cup second qualifying round second leg 0-3: Dnipro v SL Benfica 21/03/90, European Champion Clubs' Cup quarter-final second leg • Heaviest away defeat 3-0 twice, most recently v Fulham FC 18/08/11, UEFA Europa League play-off first leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 6-1: Dnipro v FC Yerevan (see above) • Biggest away win 0-3: MFK Petržalka v Dnipro (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 1-4: Dnipro v FC Alania Vladikavkaz (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 3-0 twice, most recently v Fulham FC (see above) AS Saint-Étienne Formed: 1919 Nickname: Les Verts (The Greens) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • European Champion Clubs' Cup: (1976) Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) Domestic title: 10 (1981) French Cup: 6 (1977) 5 FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk - AS Saint-Étienne Thursday 22 October 2015 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Dnipro Arena, Dnipropetrovsk French League Cup: 1 (2013) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: group stage 2013/14: play-offs 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2011/12: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2009/10: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2008/09: round of 16 2007/08: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2006/07: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2005/06: UEFA Intertoto Cup third round Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 7-0: St-Étienne v KuPS Kuopio 01/01/80, UEFA Cup first round second leg • Biggest away win 0-7: KuPS Kuopio v St-Étienne 17/09/80, UEFA Cup first round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 1-4 twice, most recently v Ipswich Town FC 04/03/81, UEFA Cup quarter-final first leg • Heaviest away defeat 4-0 twice, most recently v Bohemians 1905 03/11/82, UEFA Cup second round second leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 7-0: St-Étienne v KuPS Kuopio (see above) • Biggest away win 0-7: KuPS Kuopio v St-Étienne (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 1-4 twice, most recently v Ipswich Town FC (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 4-0: Bohemians 1905 v St-Étienne (see above) 6 FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk - AS Saint-Étienne Thursday 22 October 2015 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Dnipro Arena, Dnipropetrovsk Squad list FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk Current season All-time UEL League UEL UEFA No.
