Hapoel Beer Sheva hosts Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League qualification final. The match will be played on Thursday, October 1st at HaMoshava Stadium (Petach Tikva)
Hapoel Beer Sheva is one of the strongest teams in Israel in recent years. For example, it became the champion of the Promised Land three times in a row between 2016 and 2018! So far, the Jewish flagship has not had trouble in the ongoing UEFA Europa League qualification. Hapoel has already eliminated Georgian Dynamo Batumi (3:0), Albanian Laci (2:1), and Scottish Motherwell (3:0). As we can see, the attack of the Reds showed itself at the proper high level. Beer Sheva's attack is not asleep in the new Israeli regular season either, having scored four goals in two games with Maccabi Haifa and Maccabi Netanya.

As for Viktoria, many neutral fans probably remembered and liked this team for its attractive open style. Yes, Plzen scores many goals but concedes no less. In particular, it did not withstand the pressure of the Dutch AZ Alkmaar in the current Champions League qualification (a 1:3 defeat). In the last round of the Europa League, the Czechs seem to have easily defeated the Danish Sonderjuske (3:0). However, the Scandinavians delivered 11 shots on Viktoria's goal and possessed the ball 50% of the time, but they were unlucky. By the way, Viktoria Plzen had already conceded goals in seven games in a row, excluding the match with Sonderjuske. Moreover, these goals were conceded from Opava, Slovan Liberec (as many as four times), Bohemians, Zbrojovka Brno and Mlada Boleslav in the new championship of the Czech Republic.
In my opinion, the rather pliable defensive line of the visitors will not keep a clean sheet in the upcoming battle with the strong Israelis. The hosts also have the necessary positive European Cup experience, having even reached the spring playoffs of the Europa League recently!
Prediction for the match: Hapoel Beer Sheva to score over 0.5 goals
