Belarus can take heart from a 2-0 victory in Moscow 12 years ago as they look to secure a first competitive win against their UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying Group C guests. Match background • Belarus's record in the nations' previous seven meetings is W1 D3 L3 (W0 D2 L2 in competitive fixtures). Their record in three home matches against Ukraine is W0 D2 L1. • All those competitive encounters came in the 2002 and 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaigns, with Belarus failing to score in any of them – though two of the matches ended in 0-0 draws. • The sole Belarusian victory against Ukraine came in a 2002 friendly tournament, the late Valentin Belkevich and Aleksandr Hleb scoring the goals. • Belarus are unbeaten in their last four matches (W2 D2) and in their last three home games (all of which were friendlies). They kicked off Group C with a 1-1 away draw against Luxembourg. • Ukraine lost their opening Group C game 1-0 to Slovakia but were unbeaten in four group stage away games in their 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying group (W3 D2), scoring 16 goals and conceding just two on the road. However, they crucially lost their last competitive away game, a 3-0 play-off defeat in France. • The four UEFA age-group tournament meetings between these nations have ended in four Ukrainian wins, most recently a 4-1 victory for the Under-17s in 2006. • Thus far, the Ukrainian side has won five of the seven meetings between the nations' clubs, with Belarus's lone win coming in the first encounter as FC Shakhtar Donetsk lost 2-1 at home to FC Ataka-Aura Minsk in the 1996 UEFA Intertoto Cup. Shakhtar will meet FC BATE Borisov in the UEFA Champions League this autumn.

He scored four goals in 14 games for the Soviet Union in that period. • Played various sports in his youth and participated in regional athletics competitions before focusing on football at 15. Quickly graduated from the academy to the first team at Soviet third-tier club Dvina Vitebsk. • Moved to Dinamo Minsk and went on to make 284 top-flight appearances, scoring 92 goals and earning a reputation for being committed, good in the air and having an eye for goal. • Started his coaching career in 1998 as an assistant at Slavia Mozyr and Dinamo Minsk. His best achievement at club level came in 2008 when he guided Smorgon to an eighth-place finish in Belarus. • Steered Belarus to the semi-finals of the 2011 UEFA European Under-21 Championship and coached the team at the 2012 Olympics. Replaced Bernd Stange at the senior helm after UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying. Mykhailo Fomenko Date of birth: 19 September 1948 Nationality: Ukrainian Playing career: FC Spartak Sumy, FC Zorya Luhansk, FC Dynamo Kyiv Coaching career: FC Frunzenets Sumy, FC Desna , FC Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih, FC Guria Lanchkhuti, FC Rashid Baghdad, FC Avtomobilist Sumy, FC Dynamo Kyiv, FC Veres Rivne, Guinea, FC CSKA Kyiv, FC Metalist (three times), SC Tavriya Simferopol, FC Salyut Belgorod, Ukraine • An integral part of the famous Dynamo Kyiv side of the 1970s, the defender lifted three Soviet league titles, three domestic cups, the 1975 European Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Super Cup, as the Ukrainian outfit established themselves as a major European force. • Earned 24 caps for the USSR between 1972 and 1976, and was a key member of the team during qualifying for the 1976 UEFA European Championship, which were defeated by eventual winners Czechoslovakia at the quarter-final stage. • First moved into coaching in 1979 with Frunzenets Sumy, working in Ukraine, Georgia and Iraq, before taking over at old club Dynamo Kyiv in 1993 and helping them to a Ukrainian league and cup double during his only season in charge. • Enjoyed a first taste of international management when taking the helm of Guinea, but swiftly returned to the domestic game. Had three separate stints at Metalist Kharkiv between 1996 and 2005, and also took CSKA Kyiv to the final, only to fall to FC Shakhtar Donetsk. • Spells at Tavriya Simferopol and Russian side Salyut Belgorod followed, before he was called upon by the national federation to take permanent control of Ukraine after Oleh Blokhin stepped down following UEFA EURO 2012. Helped his country to a play-off place in 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying; however, despite a 2-0 first-leg success against France, Ukraine fell 3-2 on aggregate to miss out on Brazil.

EURO finals: The UEFA European Championship was a four-team event in 1960, 1964, 1968, 1972 and 1976 (when the preliminary round and quarter-finals were considered part of qualifying).

From 1980 it was expanded to an eight-team finals and remained in that format in 1984, 1988 and 1992 until 1996, when the 16-team format was adopted. UEFA EURO 2016 was the first tournament to be played as a 24-team finals.

Records of inactive countries A number of UEFA associations have been affected by dissolution or splits of member associations. For statistical purposes, the records of these inactive countries have been allocated elsewhere: therefore, all Soviet Union matches are awarded to Russia; all West Germany – but not East Germany – matches are awarded to Germany; all Yugoslavia and Serbia & Montenegro matches are awarded to Serbia; all Czechoslovakia matches are allocated to both the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Abandoned/forfeited matches For statisical purposes, when a match has been started and then abandoned but later forfeited, the result on the pitch at the time of abandonment is counted. Matches that never started and were either cancelled or forfeited are not included in the overall statistics.
