Hapoel Be'er Sheva vs Cherno More Prediction and Betting Tips

Hapoel Be'er Sheva and Cherno More meet at the Lovech Stadium in Bulgaria on Thursday for the first leg of their clash in the Europa Conference League second qualifying round. After a gap of two years, Be'er Sheva are looking to qualify for European football once again, and interestingly, their last appearance came at the Conference League. But after winning just once in six games, the Israeli outfit went out in the group stages.

Last year, the Camels lost out in the third qualifying round, as Levski Sofia beat them 2-1 on aggregate. Be'er Sheva will be hoping to avoid yet another exit at the hands of a Bulgarian side.

Cherno More are looking to emulate their squad from 1982, which qualified for the Intertoto Cup that year. It remains their only ever appearance in a major European competition.

Since then, the Sailors have endured a series of heartbreaks in the qualifiers, with their last one coming in 2015 when they lost out to Dinamo Minsk 5-1 on aggregate in the second qualifying round of the Europa League.

Their nine-year wait to return to Europe was ended following a runners-up finish in the Bulgarian top flight last season, although the side still has a treacherous road ahead to reach the group stages.

Hapoel Be'er Sheva vs Cherno More Head-To-Head and Key Numbers

This is the first official clash between the sides in history.
Hapoel Be'er Sheva have faced a Bulgarian side on six occasions before, winning thrice (2 wins vs Arda Kardzhali and one vs Ludogorets Razgrad).
Be'er Sheva might be the 'home' side here, but are still playing on foreign soil, and their record away from home isn't great: they've failed to win their last six qualifying matches while playing outside of Israel.
When being the 'home' teapm in the Conference League qualifiers, Be'er Sheva haven't lost any of their last eight matches, winning five and keeping a clean sheet in as many.

Hapoel Be'er Sheva vs Cherno More Prediction

Hapoel Be'er Sheva might be the 'home' side here, but are playing on foreign soil, and will be aware of their record in these qualifiers while playing away from their home stadium.

Nonetheless, the Camels are up against a relatively inexperienced side, making their first appearance in nine years, and we expect them to narrowly prevail.
