Right, let's put Getafe behind us and continue our UEFA adventure! Kickoff 18.00 local time, 11.00 EST.
Anthony Gardner, Ledley King, Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Ricardo Rocha and Gareth Bale (foot) are all still sidelined.
Hapoel could rest some players ahead of their important league match against city rivals Maccabi on Sunday.
From UEFA.com -
Hapoel were beaten 2-0 at RSC Anderlecht in their opener while Tottenham lost only their second UEFA competition game at White Hart Lane 2-1 against Getafe CF in what was Jol's last game in charge.
The two sides have never met in European competition.
Hapoel have played four games against English sides in European club competition winning one, drawing one and losing two.
Their best result against an English side saw them knock Chelsea FC out of the second round of the 2001/02 UEFA Cup - becoming the first Israeli club to reach the third round. Shimon Gershon and Andrei Clescenco scored in a 2-0 win in the home leg and Hapoel then earned a 1-1 draw in London, with Milan Osterc registering.
None of the current Hapoel squad played in that game.
In the same round of the same competition the following year, Hapoel met Leeds United AFC, but lost 1-0 away and 4-1 at home to bow out of Europe. That return leg was played at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence as a result of concerns over the security situation in Israel at the time. Alan Smith scored all four Leeds goals in Italy.
Current Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson played in both legs of that tie for Leeds.
Two-time UEFA Cup winners Tottenham have never met Israeli opposition before.
A 2-1 defeat at Ramos's Sevilla ended a run of four straight European away wins for Tottenham. They drew their only subsequent away tie in the UEFA Cup 1-1 at Anorthosis Famagusta FC in the first round.
Hapoel are unbeaten in their last six UEFA competition home games.
Aalborg BK are at home against Anderlecht in the day's other Group G game.
I'll go for 1-0 Tottenham, based on not very much at all. COYS!!!
