Match background Hapoel Beer-Sheva are on a home winning streak in Europe this season, but are up against an FCSB side who have excelled so far in UEFA Europa League Group G. Previous meetings The teams are meeting for the first time, and it is Beer-Sheva's maiden encounter with a Romanian club. In their only past experience of Israeli opposition, FCSB played Maccabi Haifa in the 2011/12 UEFA Europa League group stage. They lost 5-0 in Haifa their heaviest defeat in a UEFA Cup or UEFA Europa League game but won the return match 4-2 and went on to qualify for the round of 32. Form guide UEFA Champions League qualifying included, Beer-Sheva have won all four of their European home games this season, scoring twice in each (three 2-1s and a 2-0). FCSB have won both of their Group G matches their best-ever start to a UEFA group stage campaign. Beaten on away goals by Maribor in the UEFA Champions League play-offs, Beer-Sheva are back in the UEFA Europa League group stage for a second straight season, having made it to the round of 32 in 2016/17. Defeated 5-1 on aggregate by Sporting CP in the UEFA Champions League play-offs, FCSB are competing in the UEFA Europa League group stage for a seventh time since the tournament assumed its current format in 2009/10 (a record they share with Salzburg). They have twice reached the knockout phase. Trivia and links The journey from Bucharest to Beer Sheva is around 1,650km. Beer-Sheva's Anthony Nwakaeme (Universitatea Cluj 2009 13) and Hatem Elhamed (Dinamo Bucureşti 2015) both played in Romania. FCSB midfielder Mihai Pintilii played in Israel with Maccabi Tel-Aviv (2015 16). Misses next match if booked: Loai Taha (Beer-Sheva). The coaches Appointed Beer-Sheva coach in 2015, Barak Bakhar promptly steered the club to their first title in 40 years, and successfully defended that crown in 2016/17. A defender, he spent his playing heyday at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona, whom he later coached.
