Hapoel Be’er Sheva vs Celtic Preview

 

Hapoel Beer Sheva looked on course for a heavy beating in Glasgow. They were 3-0 down by half time. They staged a second half fight back, but Celtic ran out 5-2 winners. That leaves the Israeli champions in need of a massive turnaround in order to progress. They did win both their home legs in this competition so far this season, but both were by a single goal. They need a much bigger margin than that if they’re to turn this tie around. However, they boast a strong home record, it’s almost a year since their last league defeat here. They’ll also be boosted by how easily they opened up the Scots for their two away goals.

 

Celtic have a 100% record after two league games. Brendan Rodgers isn’t going to be judged on the Scottish Premiership though. His appointment was seen as a big coup for the Scottish champions, but he’ll be expected to improve their European record. Malmo and Maribor have put them out early in the last two seasons. It’s been almost three years since they last made the Champions League group stage. This seems like a great chance for the Bhoys to make it through, but they aren’t there yet. We’ve seen Celtic blow European leads before, so they need to be careful.

 

Hapoel Beer Sheva v Celtic Predictions

 

After sharing eight goals in the first leg, there could be plenty of goals here. Hapoel were far more open at home than away in the last two rounds. The Israeli side need to get forward and score goals here, so expect them to take an attacking approach. They’ll certainly fancy themselves to score past this Celtic defence. They managed to score twice away from home, and if this is an open game then Hapoel could repeat that. My first Hapoel Be’er Sheva betting tip is for Hapoel Be’er Sheva to get over 1.5 goals, which is priced at evens with Ladbrokes.

Match Result Prediction

Celtic will certainly have chances to get forward and score, but how will they perform away from home? They were a little too timid away to Astana in the last round, they seemed too respectful of the opposition. With their heavy lead, we could see them taking their chances on the counter and letting their opponents dominate possession. Given that Rodgers’ men have already lost away to Gibraltar side Lincoln Red Imps in the Champions League, we can see them slipping up here too. For the second Champions League prediction tonight we’re backing Hapoel to win and both teams to score, which is 17/5 with 888Sport.
