Beitar Jerusalem Seeks First Points of Season Against Bnei Sakhnin
Beitar Jerusalem, which narrowly missed out on the championship last season, faces a challenging start to the 2026/27 campaign with zero points from their opening two matches. The team has not begun a season with three consecutive losses since 2010/11 and hopes to avoid this fate on Monday evening against Bnei Sakhnin at the Doha Stadium. Under coach Yossi Abuksis, the team has accumulated only one point and is on a nine-game winless streak in the league, dating back five months to a victory over Bnei Reineh.
Beitar Jerusalem is dealing with significant personnel issues. They are without the Romanian striker Daniel Parsikiv, who was injured on his debut, with Antonio ספר taking his place. Ori Dahan, acquired from Beitar, cannot play against his former club due to an agreement. Additionally, Li'el Dar'i is suspended, and fullbacks Na'ana Antwi and Yarden Cohen are injured, forcing Liel Dar'i into central defense and Timo Muzi to play left-back.
Despite these challenges, Tomer Yosefi and Shon Weissman have returned to the starting lineup. Yarden Shua, who trained partially, is on the bench. The article also provides the full lineups for both teams, the referee (Orel Grinfeld), and the stadium details. The league table shows Beitar Jerusalem at the bottom with zero points from two games, while Maccabi Tel Aviv, Maccabi Petah Tikva, and Maccabi Haifa lead with six points each.
