Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Hapoel Be'er Sheva: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Tel Aviv club retained both the league title and the cup last season. However, repeating as champions this time looks increasingly difficult. Although their international campaign ended ingloriously (eliminated by Pafos in Champions League qualifying and collecting just a single point in the Europa League group stage), their domestic form has improved.
Be'er Sheva led after the first phase a year ago, but in the championship group fell behind Maccabi by a couple of points. As a result, they went to Europa League qualification, lost to Levski, and were immediately knocked out of the Conference League by AEK. But domestically, they managed to improve and are now the undisputed leaders.
The reigning champion is currently scoring an average of 2.08 goals per game and conceding 1.17. The current leader averages 2.25 goals scored and just 0.96 conceded per match.
