On Thursday evening, it comes in the Israeli Negev desert to a duel in the Europa League. Hapoel Beer Sheva receives the English club Southampton FC. The one big favorite there for me in this game do not, because both teams are in good form. The bookmakers see no clear favorite, as shown by the odds. For a Tip Hapoel there is a ratio of 3.00 and a draw there is a betting odds around the 3.20. For an away win, there is a 2.37. Who can prevail in the end?
FormCheck Hapoel Beer Sheva
Hapoel Beer Sheva is the current champion and third in Israeli Ligat Ha’al. For many this club is not very well known and therefore not to be taken seriously, but be careful, because Hapoel has to offer. The squad of the team consists mostly of relatively unknown Israeli players. The record in the league is as follows: There have been three wins, one draw and one defeat. On Home Games Hapoel is particularly strong here, there have been two wins in two games. This season, the Israelis scored nine goals and conceded three goals. In the last season, there was in 26 games all 20 wins and only 2 losses. Hapoel Beer Sheva was three points clear champion for the former double winners Maccabi Tel Aviv. Hapoel played due to the won championship in the Champions League qualifier and was off in the second round Sheriff Tiraspol, in the third round Olympiacos turned off and in the play-offs the team scheitertet just wide on entry into the CL group stage because there was at Celtic Glasgow a 5: 2 defeat in Israel a 2: 0 home win. This Hapoel start in the Europa League and could make perfect an incredible surprise on the first matchday, because the Israelis won with 2: 0 at Inter Milan. Even against FC Southampton England I expect a strong performance from Hapoel and also go from a score. Southampton is however currently also in a very strong constitution and Hapoel Beer Sheva was recently not always safe on the defensive, for this reason, I expect at least a goal for Hapoel.
FormCheck Southampton
The Southampton FC is currently in a captivating form because the last four competitive matches were all won to nil. Last year, Southampton came in sixth place and qualified by right for the Europa League. In the league, the team of Claude Puel is in ninth place in the table. So far there have been two wins, two draws and two defeats. Southampton has a goal difference of seven own goals to six conceding goals so Southampton scored on average at least one goal and at the same time conceded a goal a game. The weakness of Southampton are the Away Games like every year, because there was in three games already two defeats. On foreign Place Southampton conceded also the most goals. On the first matchday of the Europa League, there was an unchallenged 3: 0 victory in England against Sparta Prague. On the second day, however Southampton expect a very difficult task in Israel, because Hapoel is on Home Games a power. For this reason, I assume that Southampton will also get at least one goal, because of the current form, however, also absolutely is able to make in this game.
