Previous meetings • Aleksandr Martynovich's own goal and a late strike by substitute Serhiy Sydorchuk earned Ukraine a 2-0 away win when they first tackled Belarus in Group C back in October 2014. • Ukraine's record in eight games against Belarus now reads W4 D3 L1 – or W3 D2 L0 in competitive fixtures. • Belarus have yet to score in five competitive outings against Ukraine – though two of the matches ended in 0-0 draws. • The sole Belarusian victory over Ukraine came in a 2002 friendly tournament in Moscow, the late Valentin Belkevich and Aleksandr Hleb getting the goals in a 2-0 success. Disciplinary • Ukraine defender Olexandr Kucher and midfielder Sydorchuk are both a booking away from a suspension. • Belarus duo Maksim Bordachev misses out due to a one-match ban. Timofei Kalachou, Aleksandr Martynovich and Igor Shitov are all a booking away from a suspension. Form guide • Ukraine have lost only one of their last eight competitive home games (W6 D1 L1), conceding just twice during that run. • Belarus's 2-1 win in FYR Macedonia in their last Group C away assignment halted a sequence of ten competitive away matches without a win (D3 L7) since a sensational 1-0 defeat of France in a UEFA EURO 2012 qualifier on 3 September 2010. Trivia and links • The four UEFA age-group tournament meetings between these countries have ended in four Ukrainian wins, most recently a 4-1 victory for the Under-17s in 2006. • Thus far, the Ukrainian team has won seven of the nine meetings between the two nations' clubs – with Belarus's sole success coming in the first encounter as FC Shakhtar Donetsk lost 2-1 at home to FC Ataka-Aura Minsk in the 1996 UEFA Intertoto Cup. • Players on both sides will have rather fresher memories of FC BATE Borisov's tussles with Shakhtar last season; the Ukrainian outfit triumphed 7-0 away and 5-0 at home in the UEFA Champions League group stage. 3 Ukraine - Belarus Saturday 5 September 2015 - 18.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Arena Lviv, Lviv Squad list Ukraine Current season Overall Qual.
