Hapoel Be'er Sheva suffered a 2-0 defeat to OFI Crete on Thursday, significantly diminishing their chances of advancing in the Europa League. The team, managed by Ran Kozuch, now faces a slim mathematical possibility of reaching the next stage, with algorithms suggesting only a 1.1% chance, the lowest in the league. To have a realistic shot, Be'er Sheva would likely need nine more points.
The Israeli club has accumulated only one point and one goal so far in the competition. Their remaining fixtures pit them against strong opponents: Besiktas, Juventus, Celta Vigo, and Bournemouth. Juventus and Bournemouth are currently ranked among the top four teams, while Besiktas is eighth and Celta Vigo is 26th, indicating the difficulty of the upcoming matches.
Even with a potential loss to Besiktas in the next round, Hapoel Be'er Sheva might retain a mathematical chance, but their practical prospects remain extremely low. The team's remaining European schedule includes away games against Besiktas on November 26 and Bournemouth on January 28, with home matches against Juventus on December 10 and Celta Vigo on January 21.
