Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Be'er Sheva meet so often they count as familiar foes, and they have taken turns beating each other all along. Last time Maccabi Haifa went away and thrashed them 5-2, but before that Hapoel Be'er Sheva had come away and won 1-0, and had also put 4-1 past them. This time the two sit 3rd and 4th, just two points apart, so this game carries more weight than any of those previous meetings. Maccabi Haifa have won five in a row in the league, scoring freely, and have just thrashed their opponents 4-1 at home. Hapoel Be'er Sheva's league form is no lesser either, winning their last two by scores of 2-0 and 2-1, though they have just returned from Europe on the back of a 0-4 defeat, which is a different competition from this game. The game should open up from the start, because the two teams' possession numbers are very close over the last ten matches. The hosts have the more dangerous attack, but Hapoel Be'er Sheva do not sit deep and are ready to counter every time they get the chance. The game may not end with the hosts winning by a wide margin the way recent form suggests.
