Hapoel Tel Aviv on form, Stuttgart hammered again

|

Hapoel Tel Aviv arrive in Glasgow tomorrow on the back of five straight wins in the Israeli league and in top place in Group C of the Europa League.

A 1-0 win away to Brei Yehuda on Saturday kept their recent run going although they trail league leaders Maccabi Haifa, who have won all ten league games, by six points.

It looks certain to be the end of the road for Celtic’s brief Europa League campaign with Hamburg and Hapoel in pole position to go through, and with the final game between the two clubs in Israel it’s highly unlikely that they will mess things up.

Hamburg host Rapid on Wednesday on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Mainz at the weekend, an interesting scoreline from the Bundesliga was Stuttgart’s 4-0 hammering away to Bayer Leverkusen.

Despite their Champions League heroics at Ibrox last week Jens Lehmen’s side are on the crest of a slump domestically after eleven games without a win.

Not that anyone is really bothered about Rapid these days but at the weekend they drew 0-0 away to Red Bull Salzburg.
