Hapoel Be’er Sheva vs Maccabi Tel-Aviv prediction

Hapoel Be’er Sheva were crowned Israeli Premier League champions in the 2025-26 season for just the sixth time ever and the first time since a three-year stint of dominance in the mid-to-late-2010’s.

Maccabi Tel-Aviv are the most successful club in Israeli football history. They were crowned State Cup champions by defeating Hapoel Be’er Sheva in the final back in May at the Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem.

Maccabi Tel-Aviv have a free run at this, while Hapoel Be’er Sheva have an upcoming UEFA Champions League second qualifying round tie against Icelandic champions Vikingur Reykjavik to concern themselves with. Both teams scoring seems a good bet, following on from that happening in the cup final less than two months ago.
