Maccabi Haifa vs Hapoel Beer Sheva Prediction

Maccabi Haifa host Hapoel Beer Sheva on 26 October 2026 at 20:00 in the Ligat Ha'al. Maccabi Haifa have won five straight matches, scoring 15 goals and conceding 5 across those fixtures. Recent wins include 4–1 over Hapoel Jerusalem and 4–0 over Hapoel Kiryat Shmona. Hapoel Beer Sheva won three of their last five but lost both recent away games: 0–4 to Union Saint-Gilloise and 1–2 to AZ Alkmaar. In those defeats, Beer Sheva managed only six shots per match and created minimal clear chances, while their opponents dominated possession and shot volume.

Maccabi Haifa average 2.57 goals per match over their current run and have won both recent home fixtures, though they conceded in each. Hapoel Beer Sheva average 1.71 goals away from home and have struggled to generate attacking threat in their last two road trips. Head-to-head records favour Beer Sheva historically—they won four of the last five meetings—but Haifa's current form and home record present a sharp contrast to their visitors' recent away-day collapses.

Form and H2H

Maccabi Haifa's last ten home matches show eight wins, zero draws, and two losses, with an average of 2.30 goals for and 1.20 against. Hapoel Beer Sheva's last ten away matches record five wins, two draws, and three losses, averaging 1.30 goals for and 1.40 against. In the last five head-to-head encounters, Beer Sheva won three times and drew once, but those results span from 2017 to 2019. The most recent direct meeting was a 0–0 draw in October 2018. Haifa won the last completed fixture between them in January 2019, 2–0 away.

Best bet

Maccabi Haifa not to lose (1X) is the pick. Haifa have won five consecutive matches at home and away, creating 19–21 shots in recent victories and converting multiple chances. Beer Sheva's last two away trips exposed defensive fragility and an inability to sustain attacking pressure. At 1xBet, the draw sits at 3.48, and a Haifa win at 2.27. The combination of Haifa's perfect recent form, home advantage, and Beer Sheva's away-match struggles outweighs the historical head-to-head edge held by the visitors.
