Union St.Gilloise - Hapoel Beer Sheva

Can Union St.Gilloise maintain their disciplined tactical shape when they welcome Hapoel Beer Sheva to Stade Joseph Marien on 22 October 2026 for this Europa League matchday 3 encounter? The hosts are expected to field a forward-heavy XI featuring Relebohile Mofokeng and Mateo Biondic, though they must navigate significant defensive absences with Ondrej Kricfalusi and Kevin Mac Allister both sidelined. Hapoel Beer Sheva arrive with a balanced side led by Miguel Vitor in defence, looking to disrupt the rhythm of the Belgian side in what promises to be a high-stakes tactical battle.

Union St.Gilloise enter the contest following a convincing 3-0 cup victory over KFC Nijlen, continuing a strong run of form. Conversely, Hapoel Beer Sheva will look to bounce back from a narrow 2-1 defeat against AZ Alkmaar in their previous European outing. With both sides eager to secure points in the group, the midfield duel between Kamiel van de Perre and Eliel Peretz will likely prove decisive in controlling the tempo.
