Beer-Sheva vs Maccabi Haifa Prediction

The two best teams in Israel will compete for cup glory as they look to win the Israel State Cup on Tuesday.

Maccabi, additionally, will have a chance to pile more misery on Beer-Sheva this season after already winning the league title. Beer-Sheva have been unable to beat them even once this season.

It will be a tough ask for Beer-Sheva to overcome their recent form against their rivals, especially with key players missing out on the final.

We predict Maccabi will maintain their record against Beer-Sheva this season and win this game.
