Previous meetings • Jablonec have never previously faced Ukrainian opposition in UEFA competition. • Dynamo have won only once in seven matches away to Czech clubs, beating Sparta Praha 1-0 then 3-1 on penalties to come through a 1998/99 UEFA Champions League qualifying tie. This is their second visit to the Czech Republic this season, a 1-1 draw at Slavia Praha in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round preceding a 2-0 home win, with new signing Benjamin Verbič scoring in both legs. Form guide Jablonec • Third in last season's Czech Liga, Jablonec are competing in a UEFA group stage for the first time. • They have been unsuccessful in four previous attempts to qualify for the UEFA Europa League proper, falling in the third qualifying round in both 2010/11 and 2011/12 then losing play-offs against Real Betis in 2013/14 and Ajax in 2015/16. • The Czech club have scored in only two of their last six European fixtures and have recorded just one win in their last seven (D1 L5) – 3-2 away to FC København in the 2015/16 UEFA Europa League third qualifying round. They have gone three games without a European home win (D1 L2). Dynamo • Ukrainian league runners-up to Shakhtar Donetsk last term, Dynamo entered the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round, where they defeated Slavia Praha 3-1 before going out in the play-offs to Ajax (1-3 away, 0-0 home). • This is Dynamo's seventh involvement in the UEFA Europa League and sixth group stage campaign, four of the previous five having been successful, the exception coming in 2011/12. Their best performance was in 2014/15, when they reached the quarter-finals, having also been semi-finalists in the last ever UEFA Cup of 2008/09. • Dynamo are without a victory in five European matches on the road (D3 L2) but did win their first two away fixtures in last season's UEFA Europa League group stage, giving them an overall record at this juncture of the competition of W7 D3 L5. Links and trivia • Jablonec captain Tomáš Hübschman spent ten years in Ukraine at Shakhtar, winning eight league titles, four Ukrainian Cups and the 2009 UEFA Cup. Among his 27 meetings with Dynamo (W15 D4 L8) were the two in the 2008/09 UEFA Cup semi-final that helped the Pitmen defeat their domestic arch-rivals 3-2 on aggregate. • Ukrainian international left-back Eduard Sobol is on loan at Jablonec from Shakhtar. His record against Dynamo for Metalurh Donetsk, Metalist Kharkiv, Zorya Luhansk and Shakhtar is W2 L6. • Jablonec are one of five clubs making their debut this season in the UEFA Europa League proper. The other four are Akhisar, Dudelange, Sarpsborg and Spartak Trnava. The coaches • Petr Rada has taken on numerous coaching jobs in his native Czech Republic since hanging up his boots in 1996, including a nine-month spell as national team boss from July 2008. The former Dukla Praha defender's longest stint in charge of any team was at Jablonec between 2003 and 2007 and he returned over a decade later, in December 2017, steering the club to third place in the Czech Liga and into the group stage of a European club competition for the first time. • Hired as Dynamo coach in July 2017, Aleksandr Khatskevich won seven successive league titles with the club as a player between 1997 and 2004, having also claimed five straight championships with Dinamo Minsk in his native Belarus. He later worked with Dynamo's youth and reserve teams before taking charge of the Belarus national side from 2014 to 2016. He was capped 38 times by his country, scoring four international goals, three of them in qualification for the 2002 FIFA World Cup. 4 FK Jablonec - FC Dynamo Kyiv Thursday 4 October 2018 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Strelnice Stadion, Jablonec nad Nisou Team facts FK Jablonec Formed: 1945 Nickname: none UEFA club competition honours • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) Czech Cup: 2 (2013) Ten-year record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2017/18: did not take part in UEFA competition 2016/17: did not take part in UEFA competition 2015/16: play-offs 2014/15: did not take part in UEFA competition 2013/14: play-offs 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA competition 2011/12: third qualifying round 2010/11: third qualifying round 2009/10: did not take part in UEFA competition 2008/09: did not take part in UEFA competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 5-0: Jablonec v Qarabağ 23/07/97, UEFA Cup first qualifying round first leg • Biggest away win 0-3: Qarabağ v Jablonec 30/07/97, UEFA Cup first qualifying round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 1-3: Jablonec v APOEL 05/08/10, UEFA Cup third qualfying round second leg • Heaviest away defeat 6-0: Betis v Jablonec 29/08/13, UEFA Europa League play-off second leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 5-0: Jablonec v Qarabağ (see above) • Biggest away win 0-3: Qarabağ v Jablonec (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 1-3: Jablonec v APOEL (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 6-0: Betis v Jablonec (see above) FC Dynamo Kyiv Formed: 1927 Nickname: Bilo-Syni (White-Blues) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (2): 1975, 1986 • UEFA Super Cup (1): 1975, (1986) Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) National title: 28 (2016) National cup: 20 (2015) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 5 FK Jablonec - FC Dynamo Kyiv Thursday 4 October 2018 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Strelnice Stadion, Jablonec nad Nisou 2017/18: round of 16 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2016/17: UEFA Champions League group stage 2015/16: UEFA Champions League round of 16 2014/15: quarter-finals 2013/14: round of 32 2012/13: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) 2011/12: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2010/11: quarter-finals (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2009/10: UEFA Champions League group stage 2008/09: semi-finals (having transferred from UEFA Champions League group stage) Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 8-0: Dynamo v Barry Town 22/07/98, UEFA Champions League first qualifying round first leg • Biggest away win 1-6: Coleraine v Dynamo 02/09/65, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup preliminary round first
