Command Analysis
Union St.Gilloise
It's hard to blame the Belgian Union this season. The club has not suffered a single defeat in regular time so far, and in extra time lost only to Norwegian Buda Glimt in the last qualifying stage of the Champions League. The nominal hosts dropped into the Europa League, where they managed to start with a confident victory over the Czech Viktoria Plzen (3:0). In the second round, there was a much more serious opponent, the Spanish Real Sociedad. Nevertheless, the support of their fans helped the Belgians to draw 1-1.
Hapoel Beer Sheva
Hapoel Beer Sheva is the current Israeli champion and participated in the qualifying stages of the Champions League. They managed to beat Iceland's Vikingur (1:2, 2:0) and Serbia's Crvena Zvezda. (1:0, 2:0), but it was no longer possible to cope with the Azerbaijani Sabah. As a result, the Israeli champion ended up in the Europa League, where he managed to hold a goalless draw with Dinamo Zagreb in the first round. In the second round, the Israelis lost on the road to AZ Alkmaar (1:2).
Bookmakers consider the Belgians to be the clear favorite of this confrontation, but Hapoel has already managed to surprise several strong European teams. For example, we managed to beat the Serbian champion, Crvena Zvezda, twice. In the last match of the Europa League, they managed to impose a fight on the Dutch AZ. Perhaps Union will also win, but with a minimal advantage.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (+1.5) for Hapoel Beersheba at 1.90
