Team Form

Beitar Jerusalem enter this fixture on a strong run: four wins from their last five matches (W W W W L). They defeated Hapoel Ramat Gan 4-0 away, Hapoel Haifa 2-1 at home, Maccabi Petah Tikva 3-1 at home, and Bnei Sakhnin 1-0 away before a 3-0 defeat at Hapoel Tel Aviv in their most recent outing.

After a goalless draw at home to Bnei Sakhnin, they racked up four consecutive wins: 2-1 away at Maccabi Netanya, 4-1 home against Hapoel Tel Aviv, 4-1 away at Hapoel Be'er Sheva, and 3-1 at home to Maccabi Haifa. The team's away form has been flawless this league campaign, winning all three road games.
