Hapoel Beer Sheva - OFI Crete

On 5 November 2026, Hapoel Beer Sheva and OFI Crete face each other at Stadionul Rapid-Giulesti for their Europa League matchday 4 encounter. Played on neutral ground, this contest serves as a pivotal moment for both sides as they navigate the group stage. Hapoel Beer Sheva arrives with momentum from their domestic campaign, having recently secured impressive 5-2 victories against both Maccabi Petach Tikva and Maccabi Haifa. Their expected XI, featuring Zahi Ahmed and Igor Zlatanovic in attack, will look to translate that scoring form to the European stage after a difficult outing against Union St.Gilloise.

OFI Crete enters the match following a narrow 1-0 win over Panetolikos, providing a boost after a challenging run in the competition. With Klidman Lilo expected to start in goal, the side must manage without the injured Nikos Christogeorgos. Given their recent 2-1 victory against PAOK Thessaloniki FC, they possess the quality to challenge, though they face a resilient Hapoel Beer Sheva side eager to improve their standing.
