Hapoel Be’er Sheva Prepares for Crucial Champions League Match Against Sabah

Following their first training session in Bucharest, Hapoel Be'er Sheva is set to hold their final practice tonight at the Rapid Bucharest stadium ahead of their crucial Champions League play-off match against Azerbaijani champions Sabah. The first leg is scheduled for Wednesday, with the return leg to be played in Baku next week. Members of the Hapoel Be'er Sheva squad, noting Sabah's decisive victory over Denmark's Aarhus, have described the Azerbaijani side as a tougher opponent than Red Star Belgrade. Nevertheless, Hapoel players believe that by maintaining focus and adhering to their tactical principles, they can secure a win in this home match in Romania. The coaching staff is expected to field the same starting lineup that performed well in last week's victory over the Serbian champions. Approximately 1,000 Hapoel fans are expected in Bucharest to support the team in their bid to qualify for the Champions League group stage for the first time in their history.
