Maccabi Tel Aviv is set to host Hapoel Be’er Sheva in their first home match of the league season, with expectations of a sold-out Bloomfield Stadium following the impressive turnout of approximately 8,000 fans in their previous away fixture against Maccabi Petah Tikva. The disparity between the two sides is evident. Maccabi Tel Aviv, fresh from securing a place in the Europa League group stage, has won six consecutive official matches. Although they didn’t feature in the opening league round (their match against Hapoel Jerusalem will be completed on Wednesday), the team boasts the best Israeli talent alongside high-caliber foreign players.
Hapoel Be’er Sheva, on the other hand, appears significantly weaker compared to last season. They were eliminated from the UEFA Conference League qualifiers by Mladá Boleslav and suffered a Toto Cup defeat to lower-league Ironi Tiberias. Further complicating matters for coach Ran Kozuk is the absence of key players, including Roy Gordana (1/0), Shay Elias (1/0), Miguel Vitor (27/4 last season), and new signing Tomer Yosefi. Additionally, their main midfielder, Kings Kangwa, has returned from two grueling matches for the Zambian national team in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, and his inclusion in the starting lineup is doubtful.
Historically, Hapoel Be’er Sheva has struggled at Bloomfield, having failed to win in their last 12 league visits to Maccabi Tel Aviv (0-4-8). Given these factors, Maccabi Tel Aviv is a clear favorite to secure a comfortable victory in front of a fully packed Bloomfield Stadium.
