Match preview
Hapoel Beer Sheva open their UEFA Europa League league stage campaign against Dinamo Zagreb following an eventful run of fixtures. The hosts have displayed steady offensive consistency by scoring in each of their last five matches, including a 2-0 win over Hapoel Petah Tikva and a 2-1 victory over Hapoel Ramat Gan. However, defensive concerns remain prominent after conceding four goals against Maccabi Tel Aviv and five against Sabah FA.
Dinamo Zagreb travel to Israel in encouraging form, having secured three victories from their past five outings across all competitions. They enter the contest on the back of consecutive wins against HNK Gorica (1-0) and Bedem Ivankovo (4-0). Their attack has functioned reliably, scoring eleven goals in their last five matches.
Squad availability presents a contrast between the two sides. Hapoel Beer Sheva are depleted by suspensions to D. T. Diop and E. Peretz, while D. Biton, R. Levy, and Y. Stoyanov are sidelined through injury. Dinamo Zagreb, by comparison, report only K. Theophile-Catherine as inactive.

Based on at least 20 settled predictions.4 published markets
Hapoel Beer Sheva have managed to find the back of the net in 100 percent of their last five matches despite experiencing heavy pressure defensively. Dinamo Zagreb have demonstrated consistent attacking prowess with goals scored in five straight matches, making scoring opportunities likely for both sides.
Dinamo Zagreb bring superior momentum into this tie with three wins from their last five games and fewer squad disruptions. Hapoel Beer Sheva are missing key personnel through red-card suspensions to D. T. Diop and E. Peretz alongside several injuries, giving the visitors a slight edge while offering protection in the event of a draw.
Both teams have displayed reliable scoring trends in recent weeks. Hapoel Beer Sheva have scored in five consecutive games while allowing twelve goals during that stretch, including multi-goal concessions against Maccabi Tel Aviv, Sabah FA, and Hapoel Haifa. Dinamo Zagreb have also scored in each of their last five matches, averaging over two goals per game.
