Hapoel Be'er Sheva

WLWWLW

Hapoel Be'er Sheva come into this meeting after a 1-0 Ligat HaAl win versus Maccabi Tel Aviv in their previous outing.

The only name on the scoresheet from Hapoel Be'er Sheva was Antonio Sefer (80').

A run of effective performances from the Hapoel Be'er Sheva defence has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 3 from their previous 6 clashes overall. During the same period, their own forwards have managed to score 5. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be sustained into this game, of course.

Their previous form shows that Hapoel Be'er Sheva:

• have not won against Maccabi Haifa when having played them away from home in the previous 4 league games. They'll be keen to stop this run.
• have not won away from home in their last 3 league matches.
