Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Hapoel Beer Sheva Soccer Betting Tips
Is Maccabi closing the sack?
Betting Tips: Under 2.5 Goals
Odds: 1.7
After the 2-0 away win at Teddy Stadium near Jerusalem, Maccabi Tel Aviv is almost certain to be the 25th Super Cup winner in the history of Israeli football. A defeat with one goal at home would be enough for the Yellows to further expand their status as record winners.
At Maccabi Tel Aviv against Hapoel Beersheva, we do not assume in the prediction that the Yellows will lose their home game at Bloomfield Stadium in Tel Aviv, although the special starting position must, of course, be taken into account. After all, the champions would hardly play for victory with a score of 1: 1, but would certainly be satisfied with the draw that was sufficient to win the Super Cup overall.

Maccabi Tel Aviv – Statistics & current form
After the Israeli record champions, Maccabi Tel Aviv had to make do with the runner-up three times in a row between 2016 and 2018 and watch today’s opponent Hapoel Beersheva cheer, the yellow ones have successfully regained dominance in the country’s national football.
Tel Aviv only secured the championship straight away under Vladimir Ivić in the 2018/19 season, before the title under the successful Serbian coach could also be defended in the 2019/20 season, which continued in July.
Even a defeat with a goal difference is enough
In the meantime, the former junior coordinator Patrick van Leeuwen has taken over the coaching office and is following in big footsteps. The first respectable success under the Dutchman shows that these could fit: With the 2-0 victory in Jerusalem, the door to the defense of the Super Cup is wide open.
As mentioned at the beginning, every draw and even every defeat with a maximum of one goal difference is enough for Maccabi to win the prestige duel between champions and cup winners for the eighth time in history.
Only two home defeats out of 18 league games last season
No wonder, because not only did the Yellows only lose two of their 18 home games in the 2019/20 season, but also only one defeat in the last six home games against Beersheva. And this 1-0 defeat would be enough to win the Super Cup today.

Hapoel Beer Sheva – Statistics & current form
For Hapoel Beersheva, the short trip to the top of national Israeli football seems to have ended for the time being, although the footballers from the city, which is often referred to as the capital of the Negev desert, at least won the Israel State Cup.
In league operations, however, there was only a sobering fourth place at the end of the season, after HBS was able to celebrate three national championships in a row between 2016 and 2018 and has always been among the top three teams in the country in the last six seasons.
In the cup final against a second division team
That temporary supremacy now seems to have been broken, especially since the critics pointed out that the cup draw was extremely convenient for the South Israelis. After all, the path led to only the second overall victory in this competition since 1997 over a second division side, as Maccabi Petah Tikva, an underdog, made it into the final.
Against this background, with the mortgage of the 2-0 defeat in the first leg of the Super Cup against Maccabi Tel Aviv, there is a high probability that no further title for HBS will be added.
Only four away wins in the 2019/20 season
At least hardly anyone at Maccabi Tel Aviv against Hapoel Beer Sheva would give a tip that the reigning cup winner would land a high enough away win with the national champions, of all places, in 36 games in the league, to eradicate the first-leg result.
Of course, HBS will try their luck anyway, although Itamar Shviro, who was sent off in the first leg, is missing a high performer, which does not make the undertaking any easier. To make matters worse, Yossi Abuksis’ team was only able to win four of their 18 away games in the 2019/20 season.
Probable formation of Hapoel Beer Sheva:
Levita – Dadia – Taha – Tzedek – Bitton – Goldberg – Sabag – Kabha – Safouri – Ganem – Madmon
