As part of the 1/2 final of the Israeli Cup, Hapoel Tel Aviv and Beitar Tel Aviv will meet. Who will make it to the final?
"Hapoel"
"Hapoel" started in the national Cup from the stage of the 1/16 final and immediately achieved a confident victory-defeated 4: 0 "Hapoel" Ashkelon. In 1/8, I also did not face any difficulties, having coped with Maccabi Netanya (3-1). And only in the quarterfinals I had to try and get nervous to continue the path to the trophy-a minimal victory over "Hapoel" Kfar Shal (1-0). Kulu scored the only goal in the 20th minute.
"Beitar"
But "Beitar" started earlier - from the 1/32 stage of the final, but this did not prevent it from making it to the semifinals. Moreover, Beitar's tournament path was much easier than that of its opponent in the upcoming match. First, Beitar beat Maccabi Herzliya (3-0), then Kiryat Shmonu (2-0), followed by Hapoel Ramat Gan (3-1), and in the quarterfinals defeated Bnei Sakhnin (4-0). In the current draw of the national Cup, Beitar concedes little, and scores at least two goals.
Statistics and figures:
- "Hapoel" before the reporting match went through three stages with a total score of 8-1;
- Beitar overcame four barriers, scoring 12 goals with one conceded;
- "Hapoel " and" Beitar " met each other three times: two wins for "Hapoel" and one for "Beitar".
Forecast
"Hapoel" comes to the match in the status of a clear favorite, but I believe that "Beitar" is able to offer serious resistance, as in the Cup it performs very confidently and coolly. I propose to play the victory of "Beitar" with a handicap of + 1.5.
