Previous meetings • The teams are meeting for the first time; Hertha's goalless draw at home to Metalist Kharkiv in the 2008/09 UEFA Cup group stage is the only time either club has faced opponents from their rivals' home country. • The last four UEFA games held in Ukraine between clubs from these nations have ended in draws – a 2-2 and then three 0-0s, with Shakhtar the home side on all four occasions. Form guide • Zorya are without a win in five European home fixtures (D2 L3), but claimed a shock 1-0 victory at Athletic Club on matchday two. • Hertha have yet to score in two Group J matches, and have lost their last three European away games – only one of them this season. • Third in the 2016/17 Ukrainian table, Zorya are featuring in their second successive group stage, though they were unable to make the UEFA Europa League round of 32 last term. • Sixth in Germany last season, Hertha got through the UEFA Europa League group stage on their most recent appearance, in 2009/10, but were knocked out in last year's third qualifying round. Trivia and links • The journey from Berlin to Lviv, where Zorya are playing their European home matches, is around 800km. • Hertha's Salomon Kalou was a 2011/12 UEFA Champions League winner with Chelsea. • Misses next match if booked: Vedad Ibišević (Hertha). The coaches • Yuriy Vernydub has been in charge at Zorya since stepping up from his role as assistant coach in November 2011, leading them to fourth and third-placed finishes in the last two seasons. He was a Russian Cup winner as a Zenit defender in 1999. • 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 the main Hertha helm in 2015. 3 FC Zorya Luhansk - Hertha BSC Berlin Thursday 19 October 2017 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Arena Lviv, Lviv Team facts FC Zorya Luhansk Formed: 1923 Nickname: Chorno-Bili (Black-and-Whites) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 1 (1972) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2016/17: group stage 2015/16: play-offs 2014/15: play-offs 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: 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 Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 3-0: Zorya v Charleroi 06/08/15, UEFA Europa League third qualifying round second leg • Biggest away win 0-3: Laç v Zorya 10/07/14, UEFA Europa League second qualifying round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-2 twice, most recently v Östersund 13/09/17, UEFA Europa League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 2-0: Fenerbahçe v Zorya 24/11/16, UEFA Europa League group stage UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 3-0: Zorya v Charleroi (see above) • Biggest away win 0-3: Laç v Zorya (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 0-2 twice, most recently v Östersund (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 2-0: Fenerbahçe v Zorya (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 4 FC Zorya Luhansk - Hertha BSC Berlin Thursday 19 October 2017 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Arena Lviv, Lviv 2014/15: did not take part in UEFA club competition 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 FC Zorya Luhansk - Hertha BSC Berlin Thursday 19 October 2017 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Arena Lviv, Lviv Squad list FC Zorya Luhansk Current season All-time UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
