Hapoel Beer Sheva will face British opposition in Europe for the second time this season after being paired in the same group as Southampton.

Edged out 5-4 on aggregate by Celtic in the Champions League playoff round, Hapoel will also take on Inter Milan and Sparta Prague in Group K.

Maccabi Tel-Aviv joined Hapoel in the group stages on Thursday night after eliminating Hadjuk Split on penalties.

The Israelis held a 2-1 advantage from the home leg, but they soon found themselves behind when Marko Ćosić found the net for Split.
