Following a disappointing 2-1 loss to AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands, Hapoel Be'er Sheva is set to return to the Israeli Premier League on Sunday to face Hapoel Jerusalem. The team aims to maintain its strong domestic momentum, having historically succeeded in transitioning back to league play after European competitions. Officials noted past instances where the team bounced back from European defeats to secure league victories, highlighting the challenge of managing dual campaigns.
Hapoel Be'er Sheva believes its deep squad, built with numerous players vying for playing time, is capable of meeting this challenge. The club emphasizes its ability to compete on both fronts and intends to prove it against Hapoel Jerusalem. Player Idan Nachmias will be absent due to an injury sustained during the Alkmaar match, but the team has sufficient alternatives available.
Looking ahead, Hapoel Be'er Sheva will play another Europa League away game against Union SG of Belgium. Unlike the Alkmaar match, which was played without spectators, Union SG has moved its home game against Hapoel Be'er Sheva to Dusseldorf, Germany, and it will also be played without fans from either club.
