Form guide • The record of Belgian clubs in 23 UEFA meetings with Ukrainian opponents is W11 D6 L6; the last three encounters between the nations' teams have all ended in Belgian wins, though only one of the last six encounters in Belgium has ended in a home success (W1 D3 L2). • Lokeren's recent results in Europe have been consistent; they have won their last two home games by one-goal margins and also lost their last three away matches by the odd goal. • Metalist have lost only once in their last seven European away trips – 1-0 at SK Rapid Wien in the 2012/13 UEFA Europa League group stage – the other six fixtures in that run ending W3 D3. Trivia and links • Metalist can perhaps lay claim to the most spectacular goal in the history of the UEFA Europa League group stage: Taison's remarkable volley against Rosenborg BK on 8 November 2012. • Metalist's Nigerian midfielder Ayila Yussuf can make his 50th UEFA club competition appearance against Lokeren. • Metalist forward Jajá played in Belgium for KVC Westerlo and KRC Genk; he and Lokeren goalkeeper Davino Verhulst were briefly team-mates at Genk in the spring of 2007. The coaches • Lokeren coach since 2010, Peter Maes spent a big chunk of the 1990s as a back-up goalkeeper for RSC Anderlecht, later becoming No1 at KSK Beveren and R. Standard de Liège. He made his name as a coach by leading KV Mechelen back into the top division in 2006/07. • Ihor Rakhaiev represented Metalist as a midfielder in the 1990s and returned to the club in 2006 after a couple of spells as FC Arsenal Kyiv coach. Born in Kharkiv, he was a youth coach and assistant to Myron Markevych at Metalist before taking sole command following his boss's departure in February 2014. 3 KSC Lokeren OV - FC Metalist Kharkiv Thursday 2 October 2014 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Daknam, Lokeren Team facts KSC Lokeren OV Formed: 1927 Nickname: Tricolores UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • none Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) Belgian Cup: 2 (2014) Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2013/14: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2012/13: play-offs 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 2006/07: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2005/06: UEFA Intertoto Cup second round 2004/05: did not take part in UEFA club competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 4-0: Lokeren v Aris Thessaloniki FC 04/11/81, UEFA Cup second round second leg • Biggest away win 0-4: FK Dinamo Tirana v Lokeren 14/08/03, UEFA Cup qualifying round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-4: Lokeren v Newcastle United FC 14/07/01, UEFA Intertoto Cup third round first leg • Heaviest away defeat 4-1: 1.FC Kaiserslautern v Lokeren 09/12/81, UEFA Cup third round second leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 4-0: Lokeren v Aris Thessaloniki FC (see above) • Biggest away win 0-4: FK Dinamo Tirana v Lokeren (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 1-2: Lokeren v SL Benfica 03/11/82, second round second leg 0-1: Lokeren v Manchester City FC 15/10/03, first round second leg • Heaviest away defeat 4-1: 1.FC Kaiserslautern v Lokeren (see above) FC Metalist Kharkiv Formed: 1925 Nickname: Metalists (Metalworkers) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) Domestic Cup: 1 (1988) 4 KSC Lokeren OV - FC Metalist Kharkiv Thursday 2 October 2014 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Daknam, Lokeren Ten-year European record (UEFA Cup/ UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2013/14: UEFA Champions League third qualifying round (disqualified) 2012/13: round of 32 2011/12: quarter-finals 2010/11: round of 32 2009/10: play-offs 2008/09: round of 16 2007/08: first round 2006/07: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2005/06: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2004/05: did not take part in UEFA club competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 4-0: Metalist v FK Borac Banja Luka 05/10/88, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup first round second leg • Biggest away win 0-5: Debreceni VSC v Metalist 16/09/10, UEFA Europa League group stage • Heaviest home defeat 0-4: Metalist v Bayer 04 Leverkusen 17/02/11, UEFA Europa League round of 32 first leg • Heaviest away defeat 2-0: Bayer 04 Leverkusen v Metalist 24/02/11, UEFA Europa League round of 32 second leg 2-0: FK Borac Banja Luka v Metalist 07/09/88, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup first round first leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 4-1 on three occasions, most recently v FC Salzburg 23/02/12, round of 32 second leg • Biggest away win 0-5: Debreceni VSC v Metalist (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 0-4: Metalist v Bayer 04 Leverkusen (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 2-0: Bayer 04 Leverkusen v Metalist (see above) 5 KSC Lokeren OV - FC Metalist Kharkiv Thursday 2 October 2014 - 19.00CET (19.00 local time) Match press kit Daknam, Lokeren Squad list KSC Lokeren OV Current season All-time QUAL UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
