Match preview
Following the first leg at Stadionul Municipal , this tie is perfectly poised as the two clubs meet again in Israel.
1-1 it finished in Drobeta-Turnu Severin, with the goals coming just four minutes apart towards the end of the second half.
Rotem Hatuel broke the deadlock for Hapoel Be’er Sheva, only for Andrei Ivan to swiftly equalise.
Thus, it’s winner takes all at Turner Stadium.
Hapoel Be’er Sheva came into this tie as favourites and, having drawn in Romania, this is even more the case now.
Already this year, Elyaniv Barda’s team have easily overcome Dinamo Minsk and Lugano to get this far, advancing 3-1 and 5-1 on aggregate.
However, having fallen at this hurdle to Anorthosis Famagusta 12 months ago, the Israeli club will take nothing for granted.
Universitatea Craiova meantime, having ousted Vllaznia Shkodër and Zorya Luhansk, are competing in the play-off round for the first time.
The White-Blues have only won two of their last 18 European away games both, coincidentally, coming in Albania, which doesn’t bode well does it?
So, Hapoel Be’er Sheva should claim the required victory.
