• AZ have successfully navigated five of their eight previous UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League group stagecampaigns.

• Maccabi have made an unhappy start in Group D – they led 3-0 against Zenit on matchday one but managed to lose4-3, and then went down 1-0 at Dundalk, who became the first Irish club to win a UEFA Europa League group match.

• Maccabi and Gabala are the only teams to have made it from the first qualifying round to the group stage in thecurrent UEFA Europa League.

• Maccabi have qualified for the round of 32 in one of their two previous UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League groupstage campaigns, 2013/14.
