Hapoel Be'er Sheva visit the Ludogorets Arena to take on Cherno More for the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round. The tie is finely poised following a goalless stalemate last week in Varna, Bulgaria.
Due to the uncertain conditions back home, Be'er Sheva are forced to play their home games on foreign soil. In the first leg, they played at the Lovech Stadium in Varna, Bulgaria where the Israeli outfit cut a toothless figure.
However, all's not lost yet, as Ran Kojok's side can still progress into the next round with a win, but their new season hasn't looked promising. Before the draw, Be'er Sheva were wiped out by Maccabi Haifa in the Israeli Super Cup, the Toto Cup Ligat AI, in a 3-0 defeat.
Dean David was the first to burn a hole in the Camels' defence after 35 minutes. Gadi Kinda doubled Maccabi's advantage seconds after the hour mark before Dia Saba put the final nail in Be'er's coffin by netting a third goal.
Meanwhile, Cherno are back in the European qualifiers for the first time since 2015, courtesy of finishing second in the Bulgarian top flight last season. Their previous appearance in a major tournament was in 1982, when the Sailors reached the group stage of the now defunct UEFA Intertoto Cup.
