Match background

Following their 1-0 win at the Weserstadion last Thursday in the opening leg of the 33rd all-German UEFA club competition tie, Hamburger SV have the upper hand as they prepare to welcome Hanseatic rivals Werder Bremen to decide who will represent the Bundesliga in the UEFA Cup final in Istanbul on 20 May.

Previous European meetings

• Hamburg made the better start in the first leg and it was no surprise when Piotr Trochowski gave them a 28th-minute lead, even if the manner of the goal – a powerful header from the diminutive midfielder – was unexpected. Bremen fought back strongly after the break but could not force an equaliser.

Hamburg's record against German clubs: P7 W4 D2 L1

Hamburg's record at home against German clubs: P3 W3 D0 L0 Bremen's record against German clubs: P11 W3 D2 L6

Bremen's record away against German clubs: P5 W1 D0 L4

• There is a long history of German encounters in the UEFA Cup (27 ties). This is the seventh all-German semi-final, and in 1979/80 all the teams in the last four came from the former West Germany. Eintracht Frankfurt beat FC Bayern München in one semi-final, with VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach beating VfB Stuttgart in the other. Eintracht won the final on away goals, losing 3-2 away but winning 1-0 at home in the second leg.

• The most recent all-German UEFA Cup semi-final came in 1988/89, when Stuttgart eliminated SC Dynamo Dresden after a 1-0 home win and 1-1 away draw, before losing to Diego Maradona's SSC Napoli in the final.

• A season earlier, Bremen came up against Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the last four, losing 1-0 away and drawing 0-0 at home.

• Bremen's joint-heaviest home defeat in the competition came against German opposition in 1982/83, when they succumbed 2-0 to FC Vörwarts Frankfurt-an-der-Oder in the first round. However, they had already triumphed 3-1 in the first leg and progressed on away goals.

• That was also Bremen's first continental meeting with another German team. A season later they were knocked out of the UEFA Cup in the second round by 1. FC Lokomotiv Leipzig (0-1 away, 1-1 home) and kicked off their 1988/89 European Champion Clubs' Cup campaign against East German side Berliner FC Dynamo, winning 5-0 at home after a 3-0 away reverse.

• Bremen's most recent European tie with a German side came against Hannover 96 in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup first round in 1992/93, when as defending champions they won 3-1 at home followed by a 2-1 away loss.

Matchday 13 - Semi-finals, second leg

(2)

• The most recent all-German European encounter took place last year, when Hamburg met Leverkusen in the UEFA Cup Round of 16. Hamburg lost the opening leg 1-0 away and, despite winning the second game 3-2, were eliminated on away goals. Before that, Hamburg had played in two previous all-German ties before, one in the UEFA Cup and one in the European Champion Clubs' Cup.

• Back in the 1974/75 UEFA Cup, they met Dynamo Dresden in the third round, winning 4-1 at home and drawing 2-2 in Dresden. Hamburg went on to lose to Juventus in the quarter-finals.

• In the 1982/83 European Cup, they met Berliner in the first round, drawing 1-1 away and then winning 2-0 at home. Hamburg went on to win the competition, beating Juventus 1-0 in the final with Felix Magath scoring the only goal in Athens.

Previous domestic meetings

• Bremen and Hamburg have faced each other 89 times in Bundesliga history. The Weserstadion outfit have recorded 29 wins to Hamburg's 28, the other 32 games ending in draws. Bremen have scored 130 goals in that time to Hamburg's 135.

• At home, Hamburg have won 19 of their matches against Bremen, losing nine and drawing 17. In those encounters, the hosts have outscored their opponents 79 goals to 52.

• In the all-time Bundesliga points table, Bremen lie second and Hamburg an extremely close third. Despite Bremen having contested one top-flight season less than their rivals, they boast six more points overall – 2380 to HSV's 2374. • So far this season, the two teams have met once in the league, Hamburg running out 2-1 winners at home. José Paolo Guerrero and Ivica Olić scored their goals, with Diego responding for Bremen.

• They will resume their Bundesliga rivalry at the Weserstadion on 10 May, three days after the second leg.

• In domestic knockout competitions, the two clubs have crossed paths eight times, seven of those encounters coming in the German Cup. The other meeting occurred in the 2005/06 German League Cup. Bremen have won six of those ties (1972, 1989, 1991, 1993, 2006 and 2009) to Hamburg's two (1935 and 1982).

• Hamburg played host to Bremen in a German Cup semi-final on 22 April, the visitors triumphing 3-1 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at the Arena Hamburg. Per Mertesacker had given Bremen an early lead, but Olić responded and with Hamburg captain David Jarolím sent off and no further goals, the tie was decided in a shoot-out. Goalkeeper Tim Wiese was Bremen's hero, saving three spot-kicks – from Jerome Boateng, Marcell Jansen and Olić – to secure a final place for the away side.

• Bremen's biggest win against their rivals was a 6-0 home victory from the 2003/04 Bundesliga season, while Hamburg managed to put together 5-0 wins in 1979/80 and two seasons later.

Team information

• Thomas Schaaf is the longest serving coach currently operating in the Bundesliga, having joined Bremen in May 1999. Before that, he spent 17 years as a defender with Bremen, appearing in 262 Bundesliga games and scoring 13 goals.

UEFA Cup milestones

• Bremen have reached the UEFA Cup semi-finals three times, but have yet to make it to the final. They lost out 1-0 on aggregate to Bundesliga rivals Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the 1987/88 competition, and came unstuck on away goals against ACF Fiorentina in 1989/90, drawing 0-0 in Italy and 1-1 at home. There was more heartbreak in 2006/07, as they lost 3-0 away and then 2-1 at home against RCD Espanyol in the last four.

Competition information

The UEFA Cup evolved from the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, and was first contested as the UEFA Cup in 1971/72. Next season the UEFA Cup will be reborn as the UEFA Europa League. The new name heralds major changes to the competition, which will have a new 48-team group stage with centralised marketing of broadcast rights, a presenting sponsor and an official matchball in addition to centralised sponsorship from the knockout stage and a new logo and visual identity.

• Disciplinary information:As a rule, a player who is sent off is suspended for the next match in a UEFA club competition. The Control and Disciplinary Body is entitled to augment this punishment. In the case of repeated cautions, a player is suspended for one match after three cautions in three different matches, as well as following any subsequent odd-numbered caution (fifth, seventh, ninth, etc). Single yellow cards and pending suspensions are always carried forward either to the next stage of the competition or to another club competition in the current season.

• Locally-trained players rule:In February 2005, UEFA announced the 'A' list that teams submit for UEFA club competitions will continue to be limited to 25 players, and from the 2008/09 season at least eight places are reserved for players trained by the club's own football academy of which half can be players trained by other clubs from within the same association of the said club. The 'B' list also continues to exist – involving an unlimited number of Under-21 players who have been at the club for any uninterrupted period of two years since their 15th birthday.

A club-trained player is defined as a player who has been registered for a minimum of three seasons with the club between the age of 15 and 21, whereas an association-trained player is one who has been registered for at least three seasons by the club or by other clubs affiliated to the same association between the age of 15 and 21.

• Away goals rule:For matches played under the cup (knockout) system, the team which scores the greater aggregate of goals in the two matches qualifies for the next round. If the two teams involved in a tie score the same number of goals over the two legs, the team which scores more away goals qualifies for the next stage. If this procedure does not produce a result, i.e, if the two teams score the same number of goals at home and away, extra time of two periods of 15 minutes shall be played at the end of the second leg. If during extra time, both teams score the same number of goals, away goals count double (i.e. the visiting club qualifies). If no goals are scored during extra time, penalty kicks determine which team qualifies.

• Player registration:UEFA regulations state that for all UEFA Cup matches from the start of the Round of 32, a club may register a maximum of three new eligible players within their squad of 25 for the remaining matches in the current competition. One player from the above quota of three who has played UEFA club competition matches for another competing club in the current season may exceptionally be registered, provided that the player has not been fielded by another club in the UEFA Cup this season or by a club that has transferred from the UEFA Champions League to the UEFA Cup following the group stage.
