APOEL FC can take comfort from being the only Cypriot club ever to have beaten German opponents as they welcome Eintracht Frankfurt in UEFA Europa League Group F. Previous meetings • The sides are meeting for the first time and this is also Eintracht's first encounter with a Cypriot club. • APOEL's 12 meetings with German teams stand at W1 D1 L10 (W1 D0 L5 at home – W0 D1 L5 in Germany). Their 2-1 victory against Berliner FC Dynamo in the first round of the 1980/81 European Champion Clubs' Cup remains the only victory for a Cypriot club in 38 meetings with German opponents, with the overall record of Cypriot sides against German teams a rather daunting W1 D5 L32. • The balance of power between Cypriot and German clubs has shifted somewhat in recent years: five of the last eight UEFA club competition matches between the nations' outfits have ended in draws. Match background • APOEL have featured in the UEFA Champions League group stage twice, famously making it to the quarter-finals in 2011/12, but this is their first participation in the UEFA Europa League group stage. • APOEL were reinstated into the UEFA Europa League after being drawn to replace Fenerbahçe SK following the Turkish club's exclusion from the 2013/14 UEFA competitions. They have not won in seven European games, and their 0-0 draw against Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC on matchday one was their fifth stalemate in that seven-match spell. • Back in Europe for the first time since failing to make it through the 2006/07 UEFA Cup group stage, Eintracht are unbeaten in six continental fixtures – three draws followed by three wins. Team facts • Eintracht's Václav Kadlec scored the first goal of the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League group stage, a calm finish from inside the area four minutes into his side's 3-0 matchday one win against FC Girondins de Bordeaux. • Eintracht's on-loan Croatian striker Srdjan Lakić celebrates his 30th birthday on 2 October, the eve of the game against APOEL. • APOEL midfielders Stathis Aloneftis and Constantinos Charalambides spent the 2007/08 season in Germany with FC Energie Cottbus and FC Carl Zeiss Jena respectively. Coach information • APOEL coach since May 2013, Paulo Sérgio is on his third consecutive foreign posting in as many seasons having led Heart of Midlothian FC to the Scottish Cup in 2011/12 and CFR 1907 Cluj to the UEFA Europa League round of 32 last season. A forward who spent most of his career outside the Portuguese top flight, he worked his way up to the Liga as a coach, and steered Sporting Clube de Portugal through the 2010/11 UEFA Europa League group stage, eventually losing in the round of 32. • Hired in May 2011, Armin Veh led Eintracht to promotion in his first season in charge and into Europe as sixth-place finishers in his second. As a midfielder, he was in the VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach squad that lost to Eintracht in the 1980 UEFA Cup final, before a broken leg ended his career. As a coach, he won the 2006/07 German title at VfB Stuttgart prior to less successful spells with VfL Wolfsburg and Hamburger SV.

Referee UEFA Europa Name Date of birth League UEFA matches matches Alexandru Dan Tudor 13/09/1971 25 75

One of Romania's most talented referees, Alexandru Tudor had his first taste of UEFA club competition as far back as 1999/2000 when he was fourth official at the UEFA Cup first-round first leg between Hapoel Haifa FC and Club Brugge KV. He filled the same role for two more ties in the same competition the next season before taking charge of three matches at the 2001 UEFA European Under-16 Championship, the same year he received his FIFA badge and worked at the FIFA U-17 World Cup.

Tudor went on to referee two qualifying games for the 2002 UEFA European U21 Championship and continued to be a regular presence in the UEFA Cup, being the man in the middle for three matches in 2003/04. His first experience of the UEFA Champions League came the next season as FC København took on Sliema Wanderers FC in the second qualifying round, which preceded two games as a referee at the U21 finals in 2004. Four 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifying assignments followed, with Tudor now well established in UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League qualification.

Based in Bucharest and married with a son, he handled five UEFA Cup matches in 2007/08 including the Round of 32 first leg between SL Benfica and 1. FC Nürnberg, also taking the whistle for the UEFA EURO 2008™ qualifier between Kazakhstan and Belgium in September 2007. His long-awaited group-stage debut in the UEFA Champions League came on Matchday 4 of the 2008/09 tournament, as he was selected to oversee the FC Barcelona-FC Basel 1893 fixture in Group C.
