Previous meetings • The sides are meeting for the first time in what is Östersund's maiden encounter with German opponents. • Hertha have won all three of their previous UEFA encounters against Swedish sides. Form guide • Östersund's 2-0 success at Zorya on matchday one was their biggest UEFA away win to date; they have won all three of their previous European home games without conceding. • Hertha lost their two most recent UEFA away games: 3-1 at Brøndby in 2016 and 4-0 at Benfica in 2010. • First-time Swedish Cup winners in 2016/17, Östersund have reached the UEFA Europa League group stage in their debut UEFA season, having eliminated Galatasaray, Fola Esch and PAOK. • Sixth in Germany last term, Hertha got through the UEFA Europa League group stage on their most recent appearance, in 2009/10, but were knocked out in last season's third qualifying round. Links and trivia • The journey from Berlin to Ostersund is around 1,200km. • Hertha's Salomon Kalou was a 2011/12 UEFA Champions League winner with Chelsea. • This is Hertha's 92nd UEFA game – and Östersund's eighth. The coaches • Englishman Graham Potter has helped steer Östersund from the Swedish fourth tier to the UEFA Europa League since taking the reins in 2011. He played in England's lower leagues with teams including Birmingham, Stoke and West Brom. • Pál Dárdai joined Hertha as a player in 1997 and made a club-record 366 league appearances for Die Alte Dame. He coached Hertha's youth team – and Hungary's senior side – for a time before taking command of the seniors in 2015. 3 Östersunds FK - Hertha BSC Berlin Thursday 28 September 2017 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Östersund Arena, Ostersund Team facts Östersunds FK Formed: 1996 Nickname: ÖFK UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) Swedish Cup: 1 (2017) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2016/17: did not take part in UEFA competition 2015/16: did not take part in UEFA competition 2014/15: did not take part in UEFA competition 2013/14: did not take part in UEFA competition 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 Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 2-0 twice, most recently v PAOK 24/08/17, UEFA Europa League play-off second leg • Biggest away win 0-2: Zorya v Östersund 14/09/17, UEFA Europa League group stage • Heaviest home defeat N/A • Heaviest away defeat 3-1: Östersund v PAOK 17/08/17, UEFA Europa League play-off first leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 2-0 twice, most recently v PAOK (see above) • Biggest away win 0-2: Zorya v Östersund (see above) • Heaviest home defeat N/A • Heaviest away defeat 3-1: Östersund v PAOK (see above) Hertha BSC Berlin Formed: 1892 Nickname: Die Alte Dame (The Old Lady) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 2 (1931) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2016/17: third qualifying round 2015/16: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2014/15: did not take part in UEFA club competition 4 Östersunds FK - Hertha BSC Berlin Thursday 28 September 2017 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Östersund Arena, Ostersund 2013/14: did not take part in UEFA club competition 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: round of 32 2008/09: group stage 2007/08: did not take part in UEFA club competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 8-1: Hertha v Nistru Otaci 17/07/08, UEFA Cup first qualifying round first leg • Biggest away win 1-4: Elfsborg v Hertha 29/09/71, UEFA Cup first round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 1-4: Hertha v Galatasaray 26/10/99, UEFA Champions League first group stage 0-3: Hertha v Servette 06/12/01, UEFA Cup third round second leg • Heaviest away defeat 4-0 twice, most recently v Benfica 23/02/10, UEFA Europa League round of 32 second leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 8-1: Hertha v Nistru Otaci (see above) • Biggest away win 1-4: Elfsborg v Hertha (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 0-3: Hertha v Servette (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 4-0 twice, most recently v Benfica (see above) 5 Östersunds FK - Hertha BSC Berlin Thursday 28 September 2017 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Östersund Arena, Ostersund Squad list Östersunds FK Current season All-time QUAL UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
