Just before the state cup final, Hapoel Beer Sheva can secure the Premier League runners-up tonight (Saturday) for the second time in its history (the previous one in 2014/15) if it defeats Bnei Sakhnin at Turner Stadium or if Maccabi Tel Aviv loses points in the derby at the same time. Sakhnin, whose chances of achieving fourth place were lost due to the technical loss it is supposed to receive after canceling the game against Maccabi Haifa, has not won in Be’er Sheva since March 2013 and wants to avoid a fourth consecutive away loss – something that has never happened to it in the Premier League.
The host is missing the dismissed Mariano Barreiro and Nikita Rokavitsia as well as the injured Andre Martinez and Roi Gordana, with Sagiv Yehezkel placed in the attack. Aviv Solomon in the left defensive position, David Keltins and Tomer Yosefi in the link. Sakhnin, on the other hand, is very lacking in the staff and improvises in the center of defense with Yazan Nassar and Marwan Kabha, when it is said that Laata was placed as a left defender.
Hapoel Beer Sheva fans protested against not allowing them to bring encouragement accessories to the cup final. The fans hung a sign: “If you take the atmosphere from us, these are the stands you will get” and the fans in the south stand left the field.
Hapoel Beer Sheva: Omri Glazer, Iyad Abu Abid, Miguel Vitor, Eitan Tibi, Aviv Solomon, David Keltins, Tomer Yosefi, Dor Micha, Gustavo Marmentini, Rotem Hatuel, Sagiv Yehezkel.
Bnei Sakhnin composition: Mahmoud Kandil, Fabian Sforkselda, Marwan Kabha, Yazan Nassar, Mofalach Shalata, Roi Shukerni, Ihab Ghanaim, Biram Kiel, Ari Moreh, Marshall Odeh, Guy Melamed.
The 2021/22 season will end on Tuesday with the cup final at Teddy Stadium between Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Beer Sheva (20:30).
