Previous meetings • These clubs are meeting for the first time, neither having previously played teams from their opponents' home country. • In 16 games between the two nations' representatives in UEFA club competition, the Israeli sides' record reads W2 D3 L11 (W2 D1 L5 as the nominal 'hosts' – W1 L4 in Israel itself). Form guide • Beer-Sheva have won all three of their European home matches at their new Turner Stadium, and are unbeaten in five UEFA home fixtures (W3 D2) since a 3-0 forfeit loss to Vllaznia in the first round of the 2004 UEFA Intertoto Cup. • Beer-Sheva have won all five of their competitive home games at the Turner Stadium this season – three in Europe and two in the Israeli Premier League. • Southampton have won only one of their last six European away matches (W1 D2 L3) since a 3-0 success at Limerick in the first round of the 1981/82 UEFA Cup. • The Israeli team are making their UEFA group stage debut this season, having fallen to Celtic in the UEFA Champions League play-offs. • Southampton are debuting in a UEFA competition group stage. Links and trivia • The journey from Southampton to Beer Sheva is around 3,700km, making this comfortably the longest trip in Saints's European history. • The game is taking place the day after Beer-Sheva forward Lúcio Maranhão's 28th birthday. • Former team-mates Miguel Vítor (Beer-Sheva) & José Fonte (Southampton) – Benfica, 2007–08 Ben Sahar (Beer-Sheva) & Ryan Bertrand (Southampton) – Chelsea, 2006–09 • Miguel Vítor (Leicester, 2010–11) and Ben Sahar (Chelsea, 2006–09, including loan spells with QPR, 2007, Sheffield Wednesday, 2008 and Portsmouth, 2008) are the only Beer-Sheva players with English experience. The coaches • Beer-Sheva boss Barak Bakhar steered the club to their first Israeli championship in 2015/16, his first term in charge. He previously landed the 2013/14 Israeli Cup at the helm of Kiryat Shmona, where he had spent the bulk of his playing career as a defender. • Frenchman Claude Puel was appointed by Southampton this summer. A one-club man, he spent his entire playing career with Monaco, claiming two league titles as a player and one more as a coach. He has since held the reins at LOSC, Lyon and – for the past four seasons – Nice. 3 Hapoel Beer-Sheva FC - Southampton FC Thursday 29 September 2016 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Turner Stadium, Beer Sheva 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: 3 (2016) Israeli Cup: 1 (1997) Ten-year European record (UEFA Champions League unless indicated otherwise) 2015/16: UEFA Europa League second qualifying round 2014/15: UEFA Europa League 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 2009/10: did not take part in UEFA competition 2008/09: did not take part in UEFA competition 2007/08: did not take part in UEFA competition 2006/07: did not take part in UEFA competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 2-0: Hapoel v SK Tirana 22/08/95, UEFA Cup preliminary round second leg • Biggest away win 0-2: FC Internazionale Milano v Hapoel 15/09/16, UEFA Europa League group stage • Heaviest home defeat 0-7: Hapoel v FC Barcelona 12/09/95, UEFA Cup first round first leg • Heaviest away defeat 10-0: Roda JC v Hapoel 02/10/97, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup first round second leg UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League • Biggest home win 2-0: Hapoel v SK Tirana (see above) • Biggest away win 0-2: FC Internazionale Milano v Hapoel (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 0-7: Hapoel v FC Barcelona (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 5-0: FC Barcelona v Hapoel 26/09/95, first round second leg Southampton FC Formed: 1885 Nickname: The Saints UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) FA Cup: 1 (1976) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 4 Hapoel Beer-Sheva FC - Southampton FC Thursday 29 September 2016 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Turner Stadium, Beer Sheva 2015/16: play-offs 2014/15: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2013/14: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2011/12: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2009/10: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2008/09: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2007/08: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2006/07: did not take part in UEFA club competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 4-0: Southampton v Olympique de Marseille 15/09/76, European Cup Winners’ Cup first round first leg • Biggest away win 0-3: Limerick FC v Southampton 16/09/81, UEFA Cup first round first leg 2-5: Carrick Rangers FC v Southampton 20/10/76, European Cup Winners' Cup second round first leg • Heaviest home defeat 2-4: Southampton v Sporting Clube de Portugal 21/10/81, UEFA Cup second round first leg • Heaviest away defeat 2-0 on three occasions, most recently v Hamburger SV 03/10/84, UEFA Cup first round second leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 3-0: Southampton v Steaua 15/09/16, group stage 3-0: Southampton v Vitesse 30/07/15, third qualifying round first leg • Biggest away win 0-3: Limerick FC v Southampton (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 2-4: Southampton v Sporting Clube de Portugal (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 2-0 twice, most recently v Hamburger SV (see above) 5 Hapoel Beer-Sheva FC - Southampton FC Thursday 29 September 2016 - 19.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Turner Stadium, Beer Sheva Squad list Hapoel Beer-Sheva FC Current season All-time UCL UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
