Beitar Jerusalem Aims for Comeback Against Austria Vienna in Conference League Qualifier

Beitar Jerusalem is set to face Austria Vienna on Thursday at 21:30 in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League, seeking to overturn last week's 2-1 defeat. Coach Almog Cohen plans to maintain a high-pressing, attacking style of play. Luka Gadrani returns to the starting lineup, partnering with Brian Crabali to enable the team to hold a high defensive line and counter the opponent's attacks with their speed. Jordan Shua is expected to lead the attack, replacing the not fully fit Sean Weisman with Junbusco Kalu starting on the left wing to add strength and support Cohen on the flank.

Cohen has urged his players to be disciplined, determined, and aggressive, confident that Beitar Jerusalem can win even on Austria Vienna's home ground. The probable starting eleven includes Miguel Silva in goal; Nana Antwi, Brian Crabali, Luka Gadrani, and Jordan Cohen in defense; Boris Ino, Daniel Vorko, and Noam Motta in midfield; with Omer Atzili, Junbusco Kalu, and Jordan Shua upfront.

Ahead of the match, hundreds of Beitar Jerusalem fans are expected to attend, while pro-Palestinian groups may stage protests near the stadium, potentially causing provocations.
