For more detailed factual information, and in-depth competition statistics, please refer to the matchweek press kit, which can be downloaded at: http://www.uefa.com/uefa/mediaservices/presskits/index.html Match background Hamburger SV will look to hold on to top spot in Group F as Aston Villa FC head to Germany for their final UEFA Cup group-stage game of 2008/09, with both sides mindful that AFC Ajax could yet steal their thunder on Matchday 5. • Hamburg, Villa and Ajax are already sure of their UEFA Cup Round of 32 places, but with all three teams level on six points, the final round of games will decide who finishes where in the section – a crucial consideration for the draw for the next phase of the tournament. • Group winners will be paired with third-placed sides from other UEFA Cup sections, while second-placed finishers will be drawn against one of the eight sides who finished third in the UEFA Champions League groups. The UEFA Cup group winners and runners-up will play the second leg at home. • Goal difference, then goals scored and then number of goals scored away from home will be the crucial factors in deciding the positioning after the final whistle, with Ajax taking on eliminated SK Slavia Praha in the day's other Group F fixture. • Hamburg won 2-0 at Slavia on 4 December, while a second-string Villa side lost 2-1 at home against MŠK Žilina. • This is Hamburg and Villa's first meeting in UEFA club competition. • Hamburg have played nine games against English sides, with their record reading W2 D2 L5. At home their record reads W2 D1 L1. • Hamburg have lost two European finals against English opponents. They lost 7-1 on aggregate to Liverpool FC in the 1977 UEFA Super Cup and went down 1-0 to Nottingham Forest FC in the 1979/80 European Champion Clubs' Cup final. • Villa manager Martin O'Neill was on the winning side in that latter match, played at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid. • Villa have played three games against German sides, including the final of the 1981/82 European Cup, which ended in a 1-0 win against FC Bayern München in Rotterdam – their defining achievement in European competition. • They won their only previous competitive game on German soil in their run to that final, beating Berliner FC Dynamo 2-1 in the second round. In total their record against Bundesliga sides reads W2 D0 L1. • Hamburg trainer Martin Jol has featured in three European games against English sides – two as a coach and one as a player – and lost all of them. Last updated 16.12.2008 9:33:44CET www.uefa.com Match background 1 Hamburger SV - Aston Villa FC Wednesday 17 December 2008 - 20.45 CET (20.45 local time) MATCH PRESS KIT Arena Hamburg, Hamburg • Jol coached in England at Tottenham Hotspur FC between 2004 and 2007. During that time, he took charge of seven games against Villa, with his record reading W2 D4 L1. He pitted wits against O'Neill in three of those games, with Tottenham winning one and the remaining two ending in draws. • Jol's three games at Villa Park ended in a 1-0 defeat and two 1-1 draws. • Villa's Wayne Routledge, who is currently on loan at Cardiff City FC, played under Jol during his time at White Hart Lane. • O'Neill faced German opponents in four games as coach of Celtic FC, with his record reading W1 D1 L2. The draw and the win came at home. • He also played five games against German sides as a Forest player, with his record reading W3 D1 L1. He was a member of the Northern Ireland side that beat West Germany 1-0 home and away in 1984 UEFA European Championship qualifying. • Two Hamburg players have experience of English football. Guy Demel was at Arsenal FC in the 2000/01 season but did not make a league appearance, while Thimothée Atouba played under Jol at Tottenham in 2004/05. • Hamburg have not won – or scored – at home in two UEFA Cup games this season, drawing 0-0 and losing 1-0. They have won just once in their last five European home games with their record reading W1 D3 L1. • Villa are unbeaten in their last five European away games, with their record reading W3 D2 L0. They have never lost away in Europe under O'Neill. • Villa's Craig Gardner is within a booking of a one-match suspension. • The draw for the UEFA Cup Round of 32 (when teams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other) and Round of 16 will be held at UEFA Headquarters in Nyon on Friday 19 December at 13.00CET.

Standard de Liège. Previous meetings • Alan made the breakthrough on 36 minutes when the sides met for the first time on matchday one, but Jonatan Soriano stole the show with a 35-minute hat-trick in a 4-0 win for Salzburg – the fourth fastest treble in the competition. Steven Gerrard's 13-minute hat-trick for Liverpool FC against SSC Napoli in November 2010 remains the quickest. • That encounter was Elfsborg's first meeting with Austrian opposition and Salzburg's first encounter with a Swedish side. • This will be the 19th game between men's clubs from Austria and Sweden in UEFA competition; Austrian teams have had marginally the better of the previous 18, with the record W9 D3 L6.

    ENGLAND - SWEDEN MATCH PRESS KIT Gamla Ullevi, Gothenburg Friday 26 June 2009 - 18.00CET (18.00 local time) Matchday 4 - Semi-finals Contents 1 - Match background 6 - Head coach 2 - Team facts 7 - Competition facts 3 - Squad list 8 - Competition information 4 - Group statistics 9 - Tournament schedule 5 - Match officials 10 - Legend Match background Both England and Sweden will be attempting to end a long wait for international success when they meet in Gothenburg in the first semi-final of the 2009 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. • England claimed the last of their two U21 titles 25 years ago, defeating Spain 3-0 on aggregate over two legs in the 1984 final. The years since have largely been barren, with no title at any since a side including Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Sol Campbell and Robbie Fowler triumphed on home soil in the European U18 Championship in 1993. This time round hopes are high following wins against Finland (2-1) and Spain (2-0), coupled with a 1-1 draw against Germany, taking Stuart Pearce's side through as Group B winners to face Sweden. They will hope to fare better than two years ago when they went out to the Dutch hosts after a 32-penalty shoot-out. • Sweden, meanwhile, have never won a UEFA men's competition, losing to Italy 2-1 on aggregate over two legs off the 1992 U21 final. The Scandinavian side last reached this stage five years ago, losing on penalties to Serbia and Montenegro in Oberhausen after a 1-1 draw. A measure of revenge was exacted on Matchday 3 of this competition, a 3-1 win against Serbia in Malmo taking the hosts into the last four as Group A runners-up following a 5-1 win against Belarus and 2-1 defeat by Italy.
