Match overview: Beitar heavy favourites in Jerusalem
Beitar Jerusalem returns to the Teddi Malcha Stadium on 15/12/2025 carrying momentum and expectation. The hosts sit second in the Ligat ha'Al table after 13 rounds with 27 points, an impressive return of eight wins, three draws and just two defeats. Their recent run reads like a team in form: five wins in the last seven matches and only a single reverse in the last ten fixtures. The home attack has been prolific this season — 33 goals in 13 matches — and the crowd at a 32,000-capacity Teddi Malcha Stadium should lift them as they chase another three points.
Bnei Sakhnin arrive eighth with 17 points from the same number of matches and a string of hard-fought draws peppered through their campaign. They are a resilient unit — four wins, five draws and four losses — and recent away signs have been mixed but not catastrophic. Bnei’s last outing produced a narrow 1-0 win on 8 December and their defensive numbers suggest they can be stubborn: 17 conceded in the campaign, and four clean sheets so far. Still, their attacking output (15 goals) pales in comparison to Beitar’s firepower, and an away trip to Jerusalem is a stern test.
Tactical and statistical picture
On the balance of metrics, Beitar dominate in attacking volume — 180 total shots and 77 on target across the season compared with Bnei’s 114 shots and 40 on target. Beitar’s matches trend towards goals as well, with nine of their 13 matches going over 2.5 goals. Bnei’s results have more deadlocked finishes; six of their matches have produced over 2.5 goals, indicating they can both score and be involved in open contests. The head-to-head earlier in the campaign saw Beitar claim a 2-1 victory at Sakhnin, a result that underlines their ability to win in hostile environments as well as at home.
