Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Hapoel Be'er Sheva: Team News and Expert Analysis
The current season has not been developing in the best way for the capital's team. After 28 rounds of the Israeli Premier League, Maccabi has managed to collect 55 points, which currently allows them to be in 3rd place in the standings. With 8 rounds left until the end of the season, the gap from the leader is 8 points. In the national cup, Maccabi has qualified for the final, where they will face the same Hapoel. However, on the international stage, the Israelis faltered—after 8 matches in the Europa League, Tel Aviv's team managed to earn just 1 point, which resulted in them finishing last in the overall standings.
This season, Hapoel is once again one of the favorites for the championship—after 28 rounds of the Israeli Premier League, the team has 63 points, placing them at the top of the table. However, their closest challenger, Beitar Jerusalem, is not far behind—only 2 points separate them. Additionally, the team could achieve a golden double—Hapoel has also qualified for the Israeli Cup final, where, as previously mentioned, they will face Maccabi Tel Aviv.
