Form guide Maccabi Tel-Aviv • Maccabi featured in the UEFA Champions League group stage in 2004/05 and 2015/16 – the latter the last time an Israeli club reached that stage. On both occasions they finished in fourth place in their section, picking up four points in the first of those campaigns but losing all six matches five years ago. • This is Maccabi's second UEFA Champions League campaign since 2015/16, and a second in succession. In 2019/20 they lasted only one tie, eliminated by Romania's CFR Cluj in the second qualifying round (0-1 a, 2-2 h). • Maccabi's UEFA Europa League campaign last season proved equally brief, Sūduva of Lithuania winning 2-1 in both legs of their third qualifying round contest. • This season's UEFA Champions League campaign has proved a different story, however. Led by new coach Giorgos Donis, Maccabi have overcome Riga 2-0 at home, Sūduva 3-0 away and, in the third qualifying round, Dinamo Brest of Belarus 1-0 to win through to the play-offs. • Maccabi were without a win in ten UEFA Champions League matches (D3 L7) before this season. • This is the club's second UEFA Champions League play-off having beaten Basel on away goals in 2015/16 (2-2 a, 1- 1 h). Their record at the same stage of the UEFA Europa League is W3 L3, with defeat in the most recent, against Norwegian side Sarpsborg in 2018/19 (1-3 a, 2-1 h). • The Tel Aviv team were champions of Israel for the 23rd time in 2019/20, extending their own record as they claimed the championship for the second year in a row. • Maccabi's only previous UEFA tie against an Austrian club came at this stage of the 2017/18 UEFA Europa League, a 3-2 aggregate win against Altach (1-0 a, 2-2 h). Salzburg • Salzburg are looking to secure consecutive group stage campaigns – although to do so they will have to come through the UEFA Champions League qualifying phase for the first time since 1994. • In 2019/20 Salzburg qualified automatically for the group stage, where they finished third in their section behind Liverpool and Napoli; the Austrian club picked up seven points from their six matches to finish six ahead of Genk. • Jesse Marsch's side therefore moved into the UEFA Europa League, losing 6-3 on aggregate to Eintracht Frankfurt in the round of 32 (1-4 a, 2-2 h). • The Austrian club won a seventh successive Bundesliga title in 2019/20 – their 14th overall – adding the Austrian Cup to complete a domestic double for the seventh time, all in the last nine seasons. • Salzburg have suffered 13 eliminations in UEFA Champions League qualifying since their first group stage appearance in 1994/95. • Their record in UEFA Champions League play-offs is W0 L5, most recently losing on away goals to Crvena zvezda in 2018/19 (0-0 a, 2-2 h). At the same stage of the UEFA Europa League, it is W3 L1, their solitary defeat coming on penalties against Dinamo Minsk in 2015/16. • Salzburg would match Sturm Graz's Austrian record of three group stage appearances should they win this tie. • This is Salzburg's fourth tie against an Israeli club, all in the final qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League – with two previous play-off defeats. Although they got the better of Maccabi Haifa in the 1994/95 qualifying round (2-1 a, 3-1 h), they lost at this stage of the competition against the same opponents in 2009/10 (1-2 h, 0-3 a) and to Hapoel Tel-Aviv the following season (2-3 h, 1-1 a); the latter fixture was played, like this one, at the Bloomfield Stadium. Links and trivia • Etey Shechter scored Hapoel Tel-Aviv's winner at Salzburg in the first leg of that 2010/11 UEFA Champions League play-off. • Eyal Golasa has also enjoyed success against Salzburg in the UEFA Champions League play-offs, appearing in both games for Maccabi Haifa in 2009/10 and scoring the second goal in the 3-0 second-leg success. Andreas Ulmer 3 Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC - FC Salzburg Tuesday 22 September 2020 - 21.00CET (22.00 local time) Match press kit Bloomfield, Tel Aviv played in both games for Salzburg. • Óscar García has coached both sides, having spells in charge of Maccabi in 2012/13 and 2014 and Salzburg between December 2015 and June 2017. • Israel forward Munas Dabbur has represented both clubs, winning one league title with Maccabi and another three, plus an Austrian Cup, at Salzburg. He scored 22 goals in 66 league appearances for Maccabi between 2011 and 2014 and 44 in 76 for Salzburg from 2016 to 2019. 4 Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC - FC Salzburg Tuesday 22 September 2020 - 21.00CET (22.00 local time) Match press kit Bloomfield, Tel Aviv Squad list Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC Current season All-time UCLQ UCL League UCL UEFA No. Player Nat.
