Having last met in UEFA European Championship qualifying in 1964, Sweden and Russia's memories of a UEFA EURO 2008 finals encounter may be sharper as the sides reconvene in UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying Group G. Match background • Sweden have met Russia four times since the demise of the Soviet Union, with the record W2 D1 L1 (W1 D0 L0 in Sweden – W0 D1 L0 in Russia). • Two of those encounters came at final tournaments, firstly at the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the United states, where 's Sweden beat Pavel Sadyrin's Russia 3-1. Oleg Salenko (4) scored an early penalty, but (39) replied by half-time and (60, 81) gave Sweden the points – condemning Russia to an early exit. • The teams in Detroit on 24 June 1994 were: Sweden: Ravelli, R Nilsson, P Andersson, Björklund (Erlingmark 89), Ljung, Brolin, Thern, Schwarz, Ingesson, Dahlin, K Andersson (H Larsson 84). Russia: Kharin, Gorlukovich, Popov (Karpin 40), Onopko, Khlestov, Nikoforov, Mostovoi, Kuznetsov, Salenko, Borodyuk (Galyamin 51), Radchenko. • The sides' most recent encounter was at UEFA EURO 2008. (24) and Andrey Arshavin (50) were on target in a 2-0 win that propelled 's Russia into the knockout phase and sent Sweden, then coached by Lars Lagerbäck, home. • The teams in Innsbruck on 18 June 2008 were: Russia: Akinfeev, Ignashevich, Kolodin, Arshavin, Semak, Bilyaletdinov (Saenko 66), Zyryanov, Zhirkov, Pavlyuchenko (Bystrov 90), Semshov, Anyukov. Sweden: Isaksson, M Nilsson (Allbäck 79), Mellberg, Hansson, Stoor, Svensson, Ljungberg, Ibrahimović, Elmander, H Larsson, D Andersson (Källström 56). • Sweden encountered the Soviet Union seven times with the record W3 D2 L2 (W1 D2 L1 at home – W2 D0 L1 away). Those games included a 2-0 Sweden win at the 1958 World Cup, in Stockholm, and a 1964 UEFA European Championship quarter-final. • Valentin Ivanov (62) put Konstantin Beskov's USSR ahead in the first leg in Solna on 13 May 1964, but (88) salvaged a draw for 's Sweden. It ended 3-1 in Moscow on 27 May 1964, Viktor Pondelnik (32, 56) scoring twice, and Valeri Voronin adding a third (83) after Kurt Hamrin (78) had pulled one back. The USSR went on to lose 2-1 to Spain in the final. • Before the formation of the Soviet Union, Russia beat Sweden 4-1 in Moscow on 4 May 1913, but drew 2-2 in Stockholm on 5 July 1914. • Sweden and Russia have met in five UEFA age-group competitions with the Swedes' record W1 D1 L3. Most recently the sides drew in the semi-finals of the 2013 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Slovakia, Russia eventually winning 10-9 on penalties en route to winning the competition. • The nations' clubs have met in 16 UEFA competition games, with the Swedish sides' record in those games reading W4 D3 L9.

5 Sweden - Russia Thursday 9 October 2014 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Friends Arena, Solna Head coach Erik Hamrén Date of birth: 27 June 1957 Nationality: Swedish Playing career: Ljusdals IF, Stockviks FF Coaching career: Njurunda IK, IFK Sundsvall, Bro IK, Enköpings SK, Väsby IK, IF Brommapojkarna, Vasalunds IF, Degerfors IF, AIK Solna, Örgryte IS, Aalborg BK, Rosenborg BK, Sweden • Played the game only until his late teens. Began coaching at junior level before taking on his first senior posts with Swedish second-tier sides Väsby, Brommapojkarna and Vasalund. • Joined outfit Degerfors in 1994 and moved on a year later to AIK. Guided the Stockholm club to three successive Swedish Cup finals, losing the first, in 1995, and winning the next two. Lifted the cup for a third time in 2000 with his next team Örgryte after two-legged final victory against AIK. Stayed for six seasons before going abroad in January 2004 to coach Danish side AaB. • Led AaB to the 2007/08 Danish Super League title – just the third championship in their history – yet announced mid-season he would be leaving at the end of the campaign for Rosenborg. • Masterminded runaway Tippeligaen title triumph for Rosenborg in his first full season. Replaced long-serving Sweden coach Lars Lagerbäck in November 2009, also remaining with Rosenborg until the onset of UEFA EURO 2012 qualification in September 2010. • Proved an immediate success in his new role, guiding Sweden to the finals thanks to a defeat of the Netherlands on the last day of qualifying, though they fell in the group stage. Missed out on the 2014 FIFA World Cup in a play-off with Portugal. Fabio Capello Date of birth: 18 June 1946 Nationality: Italian Playing career: Spal 1907, AS Roma, Juventus, AC Milan Coaching career: AC Milan (twice), Real Madrid CF (twice), AS Roma, Juventus, England, Russia • Forged a successful playing career, winning four titles – three with Juventus, one with Milan – and scoring eight goals from midfield in 32 games for Italy, including the winner in the Azzurri's first victory over England at Wembley in November 1973. • Despite lacking coaching experience Capello replaced Arrigo Sacchi at Milan in 1991, launching a hugely impressive five-year spell in which he led a star-studded team to four Italian championships – the first without losing a match – and the 1994 UEFA Champions League, beating Johan Cruyff's FC 4-0 in the final. • Left Milan for Real Madrid and lifted the Spanish title in his only season there before an unsuccessful return to Milan. Re-established himself as one of world's foremost coaches at both Roma, where he won the 2000/01 Scudetto, and Juventus, where he ended each of his two campaigns as Serie A champion – only for both titles to be revoked as a result of the sporting fraud scandal. • Another one-year Liga title-winning effort at Madrid (a decade after the first) prompted (FA) to appoint him England coach. Took over in January 2008 and steered the side to the 2010 FIFA World Cup with eight straight victories. Stayed on for UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying despite failing to progress beyond the last 16 in South Africa and guided his charges to the finals in Poland and Ukraine. • Stood down from England in February 2012, less than four months before UEFA EURO 2012, but the following summer took the Russia job and led them to the 2014 World Cup, where they failed to progress beyond the group stage. Signed a contract extension in January 2014 to remain in charge until after the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

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.
