Israeli clubs were not allowed to host games since late 2023, but now Israeli clubs can host. Hapoel Be'er Sheva (14.000) will start in the Champions League Second Qualifying Round and host the second leg against Vikingur Reykjavik of Iceland (11.750) or ETO Gyor of Hungary (5.437). If Vikingur Reykjavik reaches that round, they will have the highest coefficient of the unseeded clubs.The games are on 21 or 22 July and 28 or 29 July. Maccabi Tel Aviv (32.500) will start in the Europa League Second Qualifying Round and host the second leg against Sheriff Tiraspol of Moldova (20.000) or NK Aluminij of Slovenia (4.893). If Sheriff Tiraspol reaches that round, they will have the highest coefficient of the unseeded clubs. The games are on 23 July and 30 July. Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Tel Aviv both have a 5.500, and they will be unseeded in the Conference League Second Qualifying Round. Beitar Jerusalem will host the second leg against AEK Larnaca of Cyprus (20.250). Hapoel Tel Aviv will host the first leg against Ludogorets Razgrad of Bulgaria (28.750). The games are on 23 July and 30 July. Israeli clubs got hard opponents, but at least Israeli clubs can host, and three of them host the second leg. Last season's topic did not get any posts from anybody else, so I thought about not making this topic, but last season's topic got 10,505 views.
Vikingur Reykjavik of Iceland 2-1 Hapoel Be'er Sheva Vikingur's Nikolaj Hansen scored in the 48th, Hapoel Be'er Sheva's Kings Kangwa scored in the 51st, and Hansen scored in the 86th. The odds had Vikingur as a slight favorite. Vikingur had big advantages in shots (13 to 5), shots on target (6 to 2), and corner kicks (7 to 1). Since Hapoel Be'er Sheva lost, I did not look for highlights. I am not saying that Hapoel Be'er Sheva cannot win by multiple goals at home (or win by one goal and win penalty kicks), but I am predicting that they will not advance.
