Lazio and AS Saint-Étienne will qualify together if the Italian outfit win. Previous meetings • A late goal secured a 1-1 draw for Dnipro when the teams met for the first time on 17 September. • Lazio's record against Ukrainian clubs is W7 D1 L1 (W4 D0 L0 at home). They are unbeaten in eight against Ukrainian opponents (W7 D1) since a 1-0 loss at FC Chornomorets Odesa in September 1975. • Dnipro's record against Italian sides is W2 D3 L6 (W0 D1 L4 in Italy). That sole draw in Italy came on their last visit – 1-1 against SSC Napoli, a result they followed up with a 1-0 home win to reach last season's final. Form guide • Lazio are unbeaten in Group G and have won their last three games in the competition. They have also triumphed in all three of their European home fixtures this season. • Dnipro failed to score in back-to-back defeats by St-Étienne on matchdays three and four. They have four points – the same total they had after matchday four last season, when they went on to qualify for the round of 32 with seven points and then forge on to the final. • Lazio have successfully navigated their way through their last three UEFA Europa League group stage campaigns, having missed out on the round of 32 in their first two attempts: in 2004/05 and 2009/10. • Dnipro have negotiated four of their previous five UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League group stage campaigns, including successes in the last three editions. Trivia and links • The journey from Dnipropetrovsk to Rome is around 1,900km. • Dnipro defender Artem Fedetskiy can make his 50th UEFA club competition appearance in this game. • With 30 goals, Lazio's Miroslav Klose is the eighth highest-scoring German player in UEFA club competition history. The coaches • A central defender, with Juventus and ACF Fiorentina among others, Stefano Pioli was appointed by Lazio in June 2014. He has been a coach in Italy's top two divisions since 2003, his clubs including home-town side Parma FC, AC Chievo Verona and most recently Bologna FC. • Dnipro coach Myron Markevych led his side to the UEFA Europa League final in his first season at the helm. The one-time midfielder enjoyed success at home and in the UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League in charge of an exciting FC Metalist Kharkiv side. He was briefly Ukraine boss in 2010. 4 SS Lazio - FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk Thursday 26 November 2015 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Stadio Olimpico, Rome Team facts SS Lazio Formed: 1900 Nickname: Biancocelesti (White and Sky Blues) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (1): 1999 • UEFA Cup: (1998) • UEFA Super Cup (1): 1999 Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 2 (2000) Italian Cup: 6 (2013) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: did not take part in UEFA competition 2013/14: round of 32 2012/13: quarter-finals 2011/12: round of 32 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA competition 2009/10: group stage 2008/09: did not take part in UEFA competition 2007/08: UEFA Champions League group stage 2006/07: did not take part in UEFA competition 2005/06: did not take part in UEFA competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 6-0: Lazio v FK Rabotnicki 18/08/11, UEFA Europa League play-off first leg • Biggest away win 0-4 on four occasions, most recently v PFC Levski Sofia 01/10/09, UEFA Europa League group stage • Heaviest home defeat 0-4: Lazio v Chelsea FC 04/11/03, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 6-0: RC Lens v Lazio 02/11/77, UEFA Cup second round second leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 6-0: Lazio v FK Rabotnicki (see above) • Biggest away win 0-4 twice, most recently v PFC Levski Sofia (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 0-3: Lazio v FC Barcelona 22/10/75, second round first leg • Heaviest away defeat 6-0: RC Lens v Lazio (see above) FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk Formed: 1918 Nickname: Dnipryani (Dnepr-siders) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • UEFA Europa League: (2015) Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) National title: 2 (1988) 5 SS Lazio - FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk Thursday 26 November 2015 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Stadio Olimpico, Rome Domestic cup: 1 (1989) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2014/15: runners-up (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2013/14: round of 32 2012/13: round of 32 2011/12: play-offs 2010/11: play-offs 2009/10: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2008/09: second qualifying round 2007/08: first round 2006/07: UEFA Intertoto Cup third round 2005/06: group stage Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 6-1: Dnipro v FC Yerevan 23/07/97, UEFA Cup first qualifying round first leg • Biggest away win 0-3: MFK Petržalka v Dnipro 12/08/04, UEFA Cup second qualifying round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 1-4: Dnipro v FC Alania Vladikavkaz 26/08/97, UEFA Cup second qualifying round second leg 0-3: Dnipro v SL Benfica 21/03/90, European Champion Clubs' Cup quarter-final second leg • Heaviest away defeat 3-0 three times, most recently v AS Saint-Étienne 05/11/15, UEFA Europa League group stage UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 6-1: Dnipro v FC Yerevan (see above) • Biggest away win 0-3: MFK Petržalka v Dnipro (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 1-4: Dnipro v FC Alania Vladikavkaz (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 3-0 three times, most recently v AS Saint-Étienne (see above) 6 SS Lazio - FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk Thursday 26 November 2015 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Stadio Olimpico, Rome Squad list SS Lazio Current season All-time UCL UEL League UEL UEFA No.
