A new Ligat ha'Al season is about to begin and this is the first proper game for Hapoel Be'er Sheva and Maccabi Netanya. Bring it on!

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Dinamo Batumi, was also a home game here at Yaakov Turner Toto Stadium. The away team is better rested.
