Bnei Yehuda is preparing to host MS Ashdod on Wednesday evening in the State Cup's seventh round, seeking to replicate their league success in the cup competition. The team, coached by Eli Levy, is currently second in the National League with 27 points after 11 matches, remaining undefeated. They are one point behind league leaders MS Ashdod. Approximately 1,800 Bnei Yehuda fans are expected to attend the match in the Hatikva neighborhood, hoping to see their team advance to the eighth round. The club, a four-time State Cup winner, places significant importance on the tournament and aims for a strong start at home.
This will be the third encounter between the two teams this season. Bnei Yehuda previously won a preparation match 2-0 in Bulgaria and defeated Ashdod 6-0 in the Toto Cup semi-finals. The teams are set for a quick rematch, facing each other again next Monday in a league fixture at Yud-Alef Stadium.
For the cup match, all players will be available except for Yuval Piven, who sustained an injury in the Toto Cup final, and Guy Sibille, who is still recovering from an ACL tear. Before the game, a moment of silence will be held to honor the late David Moshovitz, a founder of the Beit Dani Foundation and former CEO of Elite, who was a long-time supporter of the club and involved in community activities in the Hatikva neighborhood.
