Beitar Jerusalem vs Maccabi Haifa prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 1, 2024
The upcoming match in the Israeli Premier League on Tuesday will feature Beitar Jerusalem and Maccabi Haifa. The match will take place at the Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem.
Beitar Jerusalem
Beitar Jerusalem has been a team aaccustomed to finishing in the relegation rounds for the past four seasons. In the previous season, they finished in 12th place but avoided relegation to the second division by finishing three points ahead of the drop zone in the relegation play-offs. This season, nothing much was expected from them other than another underwhelming campaign. However, to everyone’s surprise, they currently occupy fourth place and are just three points behind first-placed Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Since suffering a narrow 1-0 away defeat against newly promoted Ironi Tiberias, Beitar have gone on to win their last two matches, securing consecutive 2-0 wins against Maccabi Netanya and most recently Maccabi Bnei Raina. Hoping that home advantage will serve as a springboard for another favorable outcome, they go head-to-head against a side they've failed to defeat in their last 12 encounters (L9, D3), making this one of their biggest tests.
Maccabi Haifa
On the opposing end is a Maccabi Haifa side whose dominance in the Israeli Premier League was felt when they conquered the league for three consecutive seasons before relinquishing their league title to bitter rivals Maccabi Tel Aviv last season to finish in second place. This season, they have made an impressive start to sit in second place, two points behind defending champions, Maccabi Tel Aviv.
After being held to a nail-biting 2-2 draw against Maccabi Bnei Raina away from home, the Greens immediately returned to winning ways, thrashing newly promoted Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona 4-0 away from home to make it three wins from the last four games.
