Form guide • Inter are unbeaten in six games against Ukrainian sides (W3 D3), with two of those victories coming away from home. Their two previous matches in the Ukrainian capital, where this fixture will be held, produced a win and a draw against FC Dynamo Kyiv. • Dnipro have not lost in five European home games (W4 D1) since the last time they had Italian visitors, ACF Fiorentina winning 2-1 during the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League group stage. • One side has scored three goals in Inter's last six European away games; that run includes four wins for the Nerazzurri (3-1, 3-1, 3-0, 3-0) and two defeats (3-0, 3-0). Trivia and links • This will be Inter's 350th game in UEFA club competition, the previous 349 producing the record: W174 D86 L 89. If they prevail, they will have won exactly half of their continental fixtures. As for Dnipro, they will be contesting their 101st, having reached 100 with their 0-0 play-off draw at HNK Hajduk Split. • Dnipro's Nikola Kalinić and Ivan Strinić play alongside Inter's Mateo Kovačić with Croatia. • Dnipro's Czech defender Ondřej Mazuch spent two seasons in Italy with ACF Fiorentina (2007-09) but made only two first-team appearances, in a Coppa Italia tie against Ascoli Calcio 1898. Inter's Pablo Osvaldo and Zdravko Kuzmanović were among his Fiorentina team-mates. The coaches • Dnipro coach since 2014, Myron Markevich started out as a midfielder with hometown club FC Karpaty Lviv, and while his playing career was not a huge success, he served Karpaty in four spells as a coach before a lengthy stint at FC Metalist Kharkiv earned him a reputation for attacking football. He briefly coached Ukraine in 2010. • In charge at Inter since May 2013, Walter Mazzarri was a journeyman midfielder who worked his way up the divisions as a coach. After a notable spell at UC Sampdoria, he led SSC Napoli to Coppa Italia glory in 2011/12 and a runners-up finish in Serie A the following season before switching to Inter. • Markevich and Mazzarri met when Metalist took on Sampdoria in the 2008/09 UEFA Cup round of 32; Markevich's side won 1-0 in Genoa and 2-0 at home to reach the last 16. • Mazzarri also took on Dnipro with Napoli in 2012/13 UEFA Europa League group stage; his side lost 3-1 in Ukraine but won the return fixture 4-2 in Naples. 4 FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk - FC Internazionale Milano Thursday 18 September 2014 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit NSK Olimpiyskyi, Kyiv Team facts FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk Formed: 1918 Nickname: Dnipryani (Dnepr-siders) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • none Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) National title: 2 (1988) Domestic cup: 1 (1989) Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 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 2004/05: round of 32 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 twice, most recently v Fulham FC 18/08/11, UEFA Europa League play-off first leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • 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 twice, most recently v Fulham FC (see above) FC Internazionale Milano Formed: 1908 Nicknames: Nerazzurri (Black and Blues), La Beneamata (The Beloved) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • European Champion Clubs' Cup (3): 1964, 1965, (1967), (1972), 2010 • UEFA Cup (3): 1991, 1994, (1997), 1998 • European/South American Cup (2): 1964, 1965 Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) 5 FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk - FC Internazionale Milano Thursday 18 September 2014 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit NSK Olimpiyskyi, Kyiv League title: 18 (2010) Italian Cup: 7 (2011) Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2013/14: did not take part in UEFA competition 2012/13: round of 16 2011/12: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2010/11: UEFA Champions League quarter-finals 2009/10: UEFA Champions League winners 2008/09: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2007/08: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2006/07: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2005/06: UEFA Champions League quarter-finals 2004/05: UEFA Champions League quarter-finals Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 6-0 twice, most recently v Stjarnan 28/08/14, UEFA Europa League play-off second leg • Biggest away win 1-5: Valencia CF v Inter 20/10/04, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest home defeat 1-5: Inter v Arsenal FC 25/11/03, UEFA Champions League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 5-1: Real Madrid CF v Inter 16/04/86, UEFA Cup semi-final second leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League Biggest home win 6-0: Inter v Stjarnan (see above) Biggest away win 0-3 twice, most recently v Stjarnan 20/08/14, UEFA Europa League play-off first leg Heaviest home defeat 1-3: Inter v FC Bayern München 07/12/88, third round second leg 0-2 twice, most recently v HNK Hajduk Split 09/08/12, third qualifying round second leg Heaviest away defeat 5-1: Real Madrid CF v Inter (see above) 6 FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk - FC Internazionale Milano Thursday 18 September 2014 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit NSK Olimpiyskyi, Kyiv Squad list FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk Current season All-time UCL QUAL UEL League UEL UEFA No.
