Slovenia will look to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit and frustrate Ukraine for the second time in a UEFA European Championship play-off as their tie concludes in Maribor on Tuesday. Previous meetings • Ukraine's victory in Lviv on Saturday was their first in five games against Slovenia. That sequence includes a loss to the Balkan nation in the play-offs for a place at UEFA EURO 2000. • 's first-half strike was supplemented when Yevhen Seleznyov finished from close range nine minutes after the interval. • This second leg takes place exactly 16 years to the day after a 1-1 draw in Kyiv earned Slovenia that play-off success. • Then, as now, Srečko Katanec was coach of Slovenia, while his current assistant Aleš Čeh captained the national team in that tie.

Form guide • England are the only side to win in Slovenia in their last seven competitive home matches (W5 D1 L1). • Ukraine's away record in qualifying was decent (W3 D1 L1); European champions Spain were the only host team to beat them. • Ukraine's single previous UEFA European Championship play-off ended in that 3-2 aggregate defeat by Slovenia. • Ukraine have also missed out in four FIFA World Cup finals play-offs, for the tournaments in 1998 (1-3 agg Croatia), 2002 (2-5 agg Germany), 2010 (0-1 agg Greece) and 2014 (2-3 agg France). • Ukraine coach Mykhailo Fomenko, speaking of that last tie when Ukraine won 2-0 at home but lost 3-0 in France, said: "Of course it would be better to start away, but we cannot change anything with the draw. We have experience of beating France in a home first leg and we will use that in our preparations this time." • Slovenia have been involved in two EURO play-offs, winning one and losing one. They overcame Ukraine 3-2 on aggregate to reach their first finals – UEFA EURO 2000 – but succumbed 2-1 to neighbours Croatia to sit out the 2004 event. • Slovenia also won both of their past World Cup play-offs: they edged past Romania (3-2 agg) to qualify for the 2002 tournament and Russia on away goals (2-2 agg) to get to the 2010 finals. Disciplinary • Ukraine's Olexandr Kucher and served one-game bans in the first leg having collected three bookings during the qualifying group stage. Trivia and links • Ukraine finished third in Group C behind European champions Spain and Slovakia. Slovenia recovered from a 1-0 defeat in Estonia in their opening fixture to come third in Group E behind England and Switzerland. • Ukraine made their EURO finals debut as co-hosts of UEFA EURO 2012. Their biggest achievement at international level was progressing to the 2006 World Cup quarter-finals. • Slovenia's sole previous EURO finals, UEFA EURO 2000, culminated in a group stage exit.

He reached the 1989 UEFA Cup final with Stuttgart and won the same competition the following season with Sampdoria, whom he also helped to the 1992 UEFA Champions League showpiece. • Earned 31 caps for Yugoslavia (five goals) – including at the 1984 UEFA European Championship, the 1984 Olympic Games and the 1990 FIFA World Cup – and five for Slovenia (one goal). • Started his coaching career with Slovenia's U21s in 1996, two years after retiring as a player. After a brief stint in the Gorica dugout, took charge of the senior Slovenia side in 1998 and guided them to UEFA EURO 2000 – their first major tournament – and the 2002 World Cup. • Joined Olympiacos in 2002 but stayed for only three months and in February 2006 assumed the FYROM helm, where he remained for three years. Named United Arab Emirates coach in June 2009, a position he held for two years. • Katanec was reappointed by Slovenia in January 2013, signing a contract until the end of UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying. Mykhailo Fomenko Date of birth: 19 September 1948 Nationality: Ukrainian Playing career: FC Spartak Sumy, FC Zorya Luhansk, FC Dynamo Kyiv Coaching career: FC Frunzenets Sumy, FC Desna Chernihiv, FC Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih, FC Guria Lanchkhuti, FC Rashid Baghdad, FC Avtomobilist Sumy, FC Dynamo Kyiv, FC Veres Rivne, Guinea, FC CSKA Kyiv, FC Metalist Kharkiv (three times), SC Tavriya Simferopol, FC Salyut Belgorod, Ukraine • An integral part of the famous Dynamo Kyiv side of the 1970s, the defender lifted three Soviet league titles, three domestic cups, the 1975 European Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Super Cup, as the Ukrainian outfit established themselves as a major European force. • Earned 24 caps for the USSR between 1972 and 1976, and was a key member of the team during qualifying for the 1976 UEFA European Championship, which were defeated by eventual winners Czechoslovakia at the quarter-final stage. • First moved into coaching in 1979 with Frunzenets Sumy, working in Ukraine, Georgia and Iraq, before taking over at old club Dynamo Kyiv in 1993 and helping them to a Ukrainian league and cup double during his only season in charge. • Enjoyed a first taste of international management when taking the helm of Guinea, but swiftly returned to the domestic game. Had three separate stints at Metalist Kharkiv between 1996 and 2005, and also took CSKA Kyiv to the final, only to fall to FC Shakhtar Donetsk. • Spells at Tavriya Simferopol and Russian side Salyut Belgorod followed, before he was called upon by the national federation to take permanent control of Ukraine after Oleh Blokhin stepped down following UEFA EURO 2012. Helped his country to a play-off place in 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying; however, despite a 2-0 first-leg success against France, Ukraine fell 3-2 on aggregate to miss out on Brazil.

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.
