Hapoel need to win to leapfrog their opponents into third place, while one point will be enough for Nice, now led by Vieira's assistant Adrian Ursea, to stay there on account of their head-to- head advantage. Previous meetings • The Matchday 2 encounter between the teams – Hapoel's first UEFA match against a team from France, and Nice's first against Israeli opponents – went the way of the French side, Amine Gouiri scoring the only goal of the game midway through the first half. Form guide Hapoel • Fourth in the Israeli league in 2019/20, Hapoel secured European qualification for the seventh successive season by winning the Israeli State Cup, beating Maccabi Petach-Tikva 2-0 in the final. Last season's European adventure ended in the UEFA Europa League play-offs against Feyenoord (0-3 a, 0-3 h). • This season Josef Abukasis's side won their play-off tie, 1-0 at home to Viktoria Plzeň, following earlier qualifying phase successes against Dinamo Batumi (3-0 h), Laç (2-1 a) and Motherwell (3-0 h). Hapoel are therefore competing in the UEFA Europa League group stage for the third time, having previously participated in 2016/17 – when they beat Inter twice and reached the round of 32 – and 2017/18 – when they finished bottom of their group. • Hapoel's home record in the UEFA Europa League proper is W3 D1 L5 with one win – 3-1 against Slavia – and one defeat – 2-4 against Leverkusen – this season. Nice • After two years without European football, Nice qualified for a third appearance in the UEFA Europa League group stage after finishing fifth in the truncated 2019/20 Ligue 1 campaign. • Les Aiglons finished bottom of their group in 2016/17 but progressed as runners-up the following year in a section comprising Lazio, Vitesse and Zulte Waregem before going out to Lokomotiv Moskva (2-3 h, 0-1 a) in the round of 32. • Nice have lost six of their eight away fixtures in the UEFA Europa League group stage. Their last five games on the road in the competition have all ended in defeat, including 6-2 at Leverkusen and 3-2 at Slavia this term. Links and trivia • Hapoel's Gaëtan Varenne was born in France and played briefly for Bastia after starting his career with French amateur side Cournon. • Gouiri scored in all of Nice's first four Group C fixtures before drawing a blank last time out at home to Leverkusen. The 20-year-old had never scored a European goal prior to this season. • Nice have played more matches in the UEFA Europa League, group stage to final, without registering a draw (19) than any other club. 3 Hapoel Beer-Sheva FC - OGC Nice Thursday 10 December 2020 - 18.55CET (19.55 local time) Match press kit Ha Moshava, Petah Tikva Team facts Hapoel Beer-Sheva FC Formed: 1949 Nickname: The Camels UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 5 (2018) Israeli Cup: 2 (2020) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2019/20: play-offs 2018/19: third qualifying round (having transferred from UEFA Champions League second qualifying round) 2017/18: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2016/17: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2015/16: second qualifying round 2014/15: second qualifying round 2013/14: did not take part in UEFA competition 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA competition 2011/12: did not take part in UEFA competition 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 3-0 twice, most recently v Motherwell 24/09/20, UEFA Europa League third qualifying round • Biggest away win 1-4: Flora v Hapoel 10/07/18, UEFA Champions League first qualifying round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-7: Hapoel v Barcelona 12/09/95, UEFA Cup first round first leg • Heaviest away defeat 10-0: Roda v Hapoel 02/10/97, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup first round second leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 3-0 twice, most recently v Motherwell (see above) • Biggest away win 0-2: Internazionale Milano v Hapoel 15/09/16, UEFA Europa League group stage • Heaviest home defeat 0-7: Hapoel v Barcelona (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 5-0: Barcelona v Hapoel 26/09/95, first round second leg OGC Nice Formed: 1904 Nickname: Les Aiglons (The Eaglets) UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) League title: 4 (1959) French Cup: 3 (1997) 4 Hapoel Beer-Sheva FC - OGC Nice Thursday 10 December 2020 - 18.55CET (19.55 local time) Match press kit Ha Moshava, Petah Tikva Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League unless indicated otherwise) 2019/20: did not take part in UEFA competition 2018/19: did not take part in UEFA competition 2017/18: round of 32 (having transferred from UEFA Champions League play-offs) 2016/17: group stage 2015/16: did not take part in UEFA competition 2014/15: did not take part in UEFA competition 2013/14: play-offs 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA competition 2011/12: did not take part in UEFA competition 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 4-0: Nice v Fenerbahçe 24/10/73, UEFA Cup first round second leg • Biggest away win 1-5 Zulte Waregem v Nice 14/09/17, UEFA Europa League group stage • Heaviest home defeat 1-3 twice, most recently v Slavia Praha 26/11/20, UEFA Europa League group stage 0-2 twice, most recently v Napoli 22/08/17, UEFA Champions League play-off second leg • Heaviest away defeat 6-2: Leverkusen v Nice 22/10/20, UEFA Europa League group stage 4-0: Köln v Nice 12/12/73, UEFA Cup third round first leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 4-0: Nice v Fenerbahçe (see above) • Biggest away win 1-5: Zulte Waregem v Nice (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 1-3 twice, most recently v Slavia Praha (see above) 0-2: Nice v Salzburg 03/11/16, group stage • Heaviest away defeat 6-2: Leverkusen v Nice (see above) 4-0: Köln v Nice (see above) 5 Hapoel Beer-Sheva FC - OGC Nice Thursday 10 December 2020 - 18.55CET (19.55 local time) Match press kit Ha Moshava, Petah Tikva Squad list Hapoel Beer-Sheva FC Current season All-time QUAL UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
