Previous meetings • This is the sides' first fixture as well as Freiburg's first encounter with Portuguese opponents and Estoril's first experience of German adversaries. • Portuguese sides' record in UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League away games in Germany is not that encouraging (W4 D3 L19). However, SL Benfica won both of the most recent encounters between Portuguese and German sides on German soil, beating VfB Stuttgart 2-0 in the 2010/11 round of 32, and Bayer 04 Leverkusen 1-0 at the same stage of the 2012/13 competition. Match background • Freiburg have drawn both of their last two European home games 2-2 which, combined with a 2-0 loss at Sevilla FC on matchday two, means they have conceded twice in each of their last three continental fixtures. • That loss to Sevilla was Freiburg's biggest – home or away – in their ten UEFA fixtures to date. • Freiburg are making their first appearance in a UEFA competition group stage. Indeed, this is their first appearance in Europe since they reached the third round of the 2001/02 UEFA Cup, losing to eventual winners Feyenoord. • Estoril came through the qualifying phase unbeaten but have now lost their unbeaten home and away records in the competiton, losing 2-1 at home against Sevilla FC on matchday one and then 2-1 at FC Slovan Liberec last time out. Team facts • Estoril are one of four sides in the group stage who are in their first European season, along with CS Pandurii Târgu Jiu, Wigan Athletic FC and FC Kuban Krasnodar. • From a town on the coast of Portugal, Estoril are the westernmost side in this season's group stage. Estoril is 6,358km west of Karaganda, the home of the competition's easternmost representatives FC Shakhtar Karagandy, although it is 6,188km from Astana, where Shakhter will play their group stage games. • Freiburg are the only side in the competition who have had two players sent off in this season's group stage; Karim Guédé was sent off in their first fixture, a 2-2 draw against Liberec, while Fallou Diagné was dismissed in the 2-0 loss at Sevilla. • Freiburg's Gelson Fernandes played in the Portuguese league for Sporting Clube de Portugal in the first half of the 2012/13 season. • Estoril midfielder Carlitos recently played in Germany, representing Hannover 96 from 2010-12. Coach information • A qualified teacher, coach Christian Streich played for SC Freiburg and their neighbours Freiburger FC as a midfielder, making a brief cameo appearance in the Bundesliga with FC Homburg 08 before moving into coaching. He took charge of Freiburg's youth team in 1995, later combining that role with work as the club's assistant coach before being given sole command in December 2011. He famously cycles to all of Freiburg's home games. • One of the most exciting coaching prospects in Portugal, Marco Silva took charge of Estoril midway through 2011/12, leading them to promotion as second division champions and then on to a European debut with a fifth-placed finish the following season. A journeyman defender, the Lisbon-born coach ended his career with a six-year spell at Estoril, moving from the pitch to the bench after hanging up his boots in 2011. 3 SC Freiburg - Estoril Praia Thursday 24 October 2013 - 19.00CET, (19.00 local time) Match press kit Freiburg Stadion, Freiburg Team facts SC Freiburg Formed: 1904 Nickname: Breisgau-Brasilianer (Breisgau Brazilians) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • none Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) None Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 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: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2007/08: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2006/07: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2005/06: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2004/05: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2003/04: did not take part in UEFA club competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 2-1: Freiburg v FK Púchov 27/09/01, UEFA Cup first round second leg • Biggest away win 1-4: FC St Gallen v Freiburg 01/11/01, UEFA Cup second round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 1-2: Freiburg v SK Slavia Praha 12/09/95, UEFA Cup first round first leg 0-1: Freiburg v FC St Gallen 18/10/01, UEFA Cup second round first leg • Heaviest away defeat 2-0: Sevilla FC v Freiburg 03/10/13, UEFA Europa League group stage UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 2-1: Freiburg v FK Púchov (see above) • Biggest away win 1-4: FC St Gallen v Freiburg (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 1-2: Freiburg v SK Slavia Praha (see above) 0-1: Freiburg v FC St Gallen (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 2-0: Sevilla FC v Freiburg (see above) Estoril Praia Formed: 1939 Nickname: Canarinhos (Canaries) UEFA club competition honours • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) None 4 SC Freiburg - Estoril Praia Thursday 24 October 2013 - 19.00CET, (19.00 local time) Match press kit Freiburg Stadion, Freiburg Ten-year record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA competition 2011/12: did not take part in UEFA competition 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA competition 2009/10: did not take part in UEFA competition 2008/09: did not take part in UEFA competition 2007/08: did not take part in UEFA competition 2006/07: did not take part in UEFA competition 2005/06: did not take part in UEFA competition 2004/05: did not take part in UEFA competition 2003/04: did not take part in UEFA competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 2-0: Estoril v FC Pasching 22/08/13, UEFA Europa League play-off first leg • Biggest away win 1-2: FC Pasching v Estoril 29/08/13, UEFA Europa League play-off second leg 0-1: Hapoel Ramat Gan FC v Estoril 08/08/13, UEFA Europa League third qualifying round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 1-2: Estoril v Sevilla FC 20/09/13, UEFA Europa League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 2-1: FC Slovan Liberec v Estoril 03/10/13, UEFA Europa League group stage UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 2-0: Estoril v FC Pasching (see above) • Biggest away win 1-2: FC Pasching v Estoril (see above) 0-1: Hapoel Ramat Gan FC v Estoril (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 1-2: Estoril v Sevilla FC (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 2-1: FC Slovan Liberec v Estoril (see above) 5 SC Freiburg - Estoril Praia Thursday 24 October 2013 - 19.00CET, (19.00 local time) Match press kit Freiburg Stadion, Freiburg Squad list SC Freiburg Current season All-time QUAL Tournament League Tournament UEFA No. Player Nat.
