Previous meetings • The teams met for the first time on matchday three, Zorya taking the points thanks to defender Olexandr Svatok's 79th-minute winner after Hertha's Davie Selke had earlier equalised Silas's opener. • Hertha's only previous engagement with Ukrainian opposition had been a goalless draw at home to Metalist Kharkiv in the 2008/09 UEFA Cup group stage. Form guide • Hertha are without a win in four European games (D1 L3) and have not scored more than one goal in a UEFA home fixture since a 3-1 victory over Brøndby in the 2009/10 UEFA Europa League play-offs – a run of six matches. • Zorya claimed a shock 1-0 victory at Athletic Club on matchday two to end a run of four successive European defeats on the road. • Sixth in Germany last season, Hertha got through the UEFA Europa League group stage on their most recent appearance, in 2009/10, but were eliminated by Brøndby in last year's third qualifying round. • Third in the 2016/17 Ukrainian table, Zorya are featuring in their second successive group stage; they were unable to make the UEFA Europa League round of 32 last term, however, failing to win any of their six matches (D2 L4) and scoring just two goals. Trivia and links • The journey from Lviv, where Zorya are playing their European home games, to Berlin is around 800km. • Hertha's Salomon Kalou was a 2011/12 UEFA Champions League winner with Chelsea. • Hertha's Bosnia and Herzegovina international striker Vedad Ibišević is suspended for this game after collecting a yellow card in each of his team's first three Group J matches. The coaches • 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 job at the Berlin club in 2015. • 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. 3 Hertha BSC Berlin - FC Zorya Luhansk Thursday 2 November 2017 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Olympiastadion, Berlin Team facts 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 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) 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) 4 Hertha BSC Berlin - FC Zorya Luhansk Thursday 2 November 2017 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Olympiastadion, Berlin 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) 5 Hertha BSC Berlin - FC Zorya Luhansk Thursday 2 November 2017 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit Olympiastadion, Berlin Squad list Hertha BSC Berlin Current season All-time UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
