Two clubs near the foot of the Europa League table meet on Thursday 5 November, with kick-off at 8pm UK at the Stadionul Valentin Stănescu. Hapoel Be'er Sheva are 30th of 36 on a single point, and OFI are 26th on 3.
Be'er Sheva have scored once in three league-stage games and let in six. OFI have a win to their name, but they arrive on the back of two defeats in a row.
It has been a rough few weeks for Be'er Sheva. They lost 4-0 at Union SG on 22 October and 2-1 at AZ a week before that, and their only league-stage point came from a goalless draw with Dinamo Zagreb at home. Going back to the Champions League qualifiers, they won 2-1 at home to Sabah before a 5-2 defeat in the return.
They average 0.33 goals a game in the league stage, the 12th fewest across European competitions, and they concede two a game, the 28th most. They manage 3.33 shots on target a game, the 27th fewest, and 2.33 corners, the 9th fewest. They also give away fouls and cards: 13.33 fouls a game is the 28th most, and 2.33 cards is also the 28th most.
OFI have the better record at the back. They concede 0.8 goals a game, the 15th fewest across European competitions, and have kept clean sheets in 60% of their last five games, the 9th highest. The wins came early: 3-0 and 2-0 against CSKA Sofia in qualifying, then a 2-0 home win over Hoffenheim in the league stage. Since then they lost 2-1 at Rennes and 2-0 at home to Leverkusen.
OFI average 8.6 fouls a game, the 7th fewest, and 1.2 cards, the 10th fewest. Only 20% of their last five games have seen both teams score, the 15th lowest, and they average 1.6 goals a game, the 25th most.
