A number of Galatasaray AŞ players and coach Michael Skibbe will return to the land of their birth on Matchday 4 with the Turkish giants looking to earn a place in the last 32 of the UEFA Cup with a draw or a win against Hertha BSC Berlin. • Hertha have drawn both of their Group B games to date and were not in action on 27 November. They will not know whether they have reached the last 32 until after their Matchday 5 fixture at Olympiacos CFP. • Galatasaray surprisingly lost 1-0 at home against FC Metalist Kharkiv last time out but they still need just one point against Hertha to be sure of qualifying. Only once has a total of six points not been enough to progress beyond the UEFA Cup group stage, with Rangers FC missing out in 2004/05. • Hertha and Galatasaray have met once before, with the Turkish side drawing 2-2 at home and winning 4-1 in the German capital in the 1999/00 UEFA Champions League first group stage. • Michael Preetz and struck twice in a minute to give Hertha a 2-0 lead in , but Hakan Şükür reduced the arrears before half-time, with equalising four minutes from time for 's Galatasaray. • Kjetil Rekdal put Jürgen Röber's Hertha ahead before the break in the second leg, but Hakan Şükür struck twice, before goals from Tugay Kerimoğlu and completed a memorable win. • The teams for that tie in Berlin on 26 October 1999 were: Hertha: Gábor Király, Dick van Burik, Eyjölfur Sverrison, Dariusz Wosz, Ali Daei, Kjetil Rekdal (Andreas Neuendorf, 81), Michael Preetz (Ilija Aračić, 74), Andreas Schmidt, Kai Michalke, Sebastian Deisler, Thomas Helmer (Hendrik Herzog, 14). Galatasaray: Cláudio Taffarel, Gheorghe Popescu, Emre Belözoğlu, (Emrah Eren, 87), Okan Buruk, , Hakan Şükür, (Ergün Penbe, 46), Ahmet Yıldırım, Hasan Şaş (Tugay Kerimoğlu, 71), Capone. • Those games represent Hertha's only experience of Turkish opposition. • Galatasaray have played 21 games against German sides, from which their reads W5 D10 L6. Their ten games in Germany have earned them three wins and two draws with the remaining five ending in defeat. • Last season, Galatasaray were knocked out of the UEFA Cup Round of 32 by German opposition, losing 5-1 at Bayer 04 Leverkusen after drawing the home leg 0-0.

• Then Leverkusen coach Michael Skibbe is now in charge at Galatasaray, and has plenty of experience of German football to call upon as he looks to undo Hertha. • Hertha's Ukrainian striker Andriy Voronin played under Skibbe at Leverkusen prior to joining Liverpool FC, who have loaned him back to the club for the season. • Like Skibbe, Hertha boss Lucien Favre has played against his current team in a UEFA club competition game. His Servette FC side drew 0-0 in and then beat Hertha 3-0 in Berlin to win a 2001/02 UEFA Cup third-round tie. • Favre has never faced Turkish opponents before. • With Turkish people representing the largest ethnic minority population in Berlin, Galatasaray's visit is sure to create a major stir. • Several of Galatasaray's foreign players have Bundesliga experience. Fernando Meira was at VfB Stuttgart from 2002 to 2008 and Lincoln was at 1. FC Kaiserslautern from 2001 to 2004 before playing for FC Schalke 04 between 2004 and 2007. • Galatasaray's Barış Özbek and Serkan Çalik are both German Under-21 internationals, having been born in Germany and played for SC Rot-Weiss Essen before moving to their parents' home country to join Galatasaray. • Five more Galatasaray players were born in Germany, with four of them starting their careers with German clubs: - Aykut Erçetin was born in Goppingen and started his career at Stuttgart. - Erdem Alparslan was born in Vechta and started his career with Werder Bremen. - Volkan Yaman was born in Munich and started his career with TSV 1860 München. • Two of them were actually born in Berlin. • grew up in the German capital and played for Hertha at youth level prior to joining Vestel Manisaspor in 2003 and then Galatasaray in 2007. • Ümit Karan was also born in Berlin, and played for local Turkish side Türkiyemspor Berlin, but made his name in Turkey after joining Gençlerbirliği SK in 1996, moving on to Galatasaray in 2001. • Hertha are unbeaten in their last seven European home games. • Galatasaray's is serving a one-match suspension while Hertha's Gojko Kačaris a booking shy of a one-match ban. • Metalist play Olympiacos in Wednesday's other Group B game. SL Benfica are the only side in the section not in action on Matchday 4. • The draw for the UEFA Cup Round of 32 and Round of 16 will be held at UEFA Headquarters in Nyon on Friday 19 December at 13.00CET. 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 clubs who finished third in the UEFA Champions League groups.

Competition information

The UEFA Cup evolved from the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, and was first contested as the UEFA Cup in 1971/72. Next season the UEFA Cup will be reborn as the UEFA Europa League. The new name heralds major changes to the competition, which will have a new 48-team group stage with centralised marketing of broadcast rights, a presenting sponsor and an official matchball in addition to centralised sponsorship from the knockout stage and a new logo and visual identity. • Format: The UEFA Cup group stage draw in Nyon on 7 October saw the 40 teams divided into eight groups of five. Clubs from the same association could not be drawn into the same group. Each club plays home and away alternately in its group. Three points are awarded for a win, one point for a draw and no points for a defeat. If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings. a) superior goal difference from all group matches played; b) higher number of goals scored; c) higher number of goals scored away; d) higher number of wins; e) higher number of away wins; f) higher coefficient points accumulated by the club in question, as well as its association, over the previous five seasons. The eight group-winners, the eight runners-up, and the eight third-ranked teams from the group stage qualify for the Round of 32, along with the eight sides that finish third in the eight UEFA Champions League groups, with ties to be played over two legs on 18/19 and 26 February 2009. The clubs that finish this stage in fourth and fifth position are eliminated from UEFA club competition for the season. This year's UEFA Cup final is in Istanbul on 20 May 2009. • Disciplinary information: As a rule, a player who is sent off is suspended for the next match in a UEFA club competition. The Control and Disciplinary Body is entitled to augment this punishment. In the case of repeated cautions, a player is suspended for one match after three cautions in three different matches, as well as following any subsequent odd-numbered caution (fifth, seventh, ninth, etc). Single yellow cards and pending suspensions are always carried forward either to the next stage of the competition or to another club competition in the current season. • Locally-trained players rule: In February 2005, UEFA announced the 'A' list that teams submit for UEFA club competitions will continue to be limited to 25 players, and from season 2007/08, at least six places will be reserved for players trained by the club's own football academy of which half can be players trained by other clubs from within the same association of the said club. The 'B' list will also continue to exist - involving an unlimited number of Under-21 players who have been at the club for any uninterrupted period of two years since their 15th birthday. In 2006/07, the number of locally-trained players required began at four but the current six will rise to eight in 2008/09, with up to half of each figure allowed to be association trained. A club-trained player is defined as a player who has been registered for a minimum of three seasons with the club between the age of 15 and 21, whereas an association-trained player is one who has been registered for at least three seasons by the club or by other clubs affiliated to the same association between the age of 15 and 21. • Player registration: UEFA regulations state that for all UEFA Cup matches from the start of the Round of 32, a club may register a maximum of three new eligible players within their squad of 25 for the remaining matches in the current competition. One player from the above quota of three who has played UEFA club competition matches for another competing club in the current season may exceptionally be registered, provided that the player has not been fielded by another club in the UEFA Cup this season or by a club that has transferred from the UEFA Champions League to the UEFA Cup following the group stage. • Disclaimer: Although UEFA has taken all reasonable care that the information contained within this document is accurate at the time of publication, no representation or guarantee (including liability towards third parties), expressed or implied, is made as to its accuracy, reliability or completeness.
