Hapoel Be'er Sheva and Hapoel Jerusalem have met many times recently, and the home side has taken the win in every one of those matches, including a 5-1 thrashing last September. This time, though, Hapoel Jerusalem come into the game with a different attacking approach, and it should make the pattern of play look different from before. Hapoel Be'er Sheva have just lost 1-2 in the Europa League, but in the league they still won 2-0 in their latest match, and this season they are unbeaten in the league from 6 games, picking up 13 points. Defensively they have conceded 7 goals all season. Hapoel Jerusalem, meanwhile, have scored 13 goals from 6 games but have conceded as many as 16. Their defence is clearly leaky, and they have just lost 1-4 in their latest match. With Hapoel Jerusalem pushing forward and leaving gaps at the back, Hapoel Be'er Sheva should enjoy more possession and build attacks more than usual. The game is likely to be played under pressure in one half, and if the home side score first, the game will open up immediately. The first thing to watch is how quickly Hapoel Be'er Sheva can impose their attacking game before the other side can settle.
