In five games on Belgian soil, the home side has won three games and drawn two. Thus, no Israeli club has ever won in Belgium. • Hapoel midfielder Idan Srur has some experience of Belgian opposition having played for Israel in a 1-0 defeat against the Red Devils at the 2007 UEFA European Under-21 Championship finals. • Recently-appointed Hapoel coach Guy Luzon is on something of an away winning streak, with a 1-0 at against AIK Solna in this season's first round making it three away wins in a row, following two away victories for his Maccabi Petach-Tikva FC side in the 2006 UEFA Intertoto Cup. • Hapoel have won both of their previous away games in this season's UEFA Cup, winning 3-0 at NK Široki Brijeg in the second qualifying round prior to their win against AIK. • By contrast, Anderlecht's 1-1 first round draw against SK Rapid Wien extended their run to eight games without a home victory in European competition. Frank Vercauteren's side's last home victory in UEFA club competition was a 2-1 against SK Slavia Praha in the third qualifying round of the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League. • Tottenham Hotspur FC are at home against Getafe CF in today's other Group G game.
