Prediction Hapoel Tel Aviv vs Beitar Jerusalem 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Ligat ha'Al on 15/09/2025

A clash of momentum and metrics at Bloomfield

The third round of the Ligat ha'Al delivers an early-season heavyweight when Hapoel Tel Aviv host Beitar Jerusalem at Bloomfield Stadium in Petah Tikva on 15 September. On paper this one promises tension: Hapoel arrive with an eye-catching recent run of results, while the visitors carry the kind of attacking metrics that can turn tight encounters into decisive affairs. The setting—Bloomfield’s 29,500 capacity—adds an extra edge; a partisan crowd will expect the hosts to press their advantage, but the numbers on the field suggest this will be far from a straightforward home evening.

Form and recent meetings paint a mixed picture

Hapoel Tel Aviv have been in rich form across their latest outings, stringing together wins and a draw that underline a side growing in confidence. Their two early season league games show four goals scored and three conceded, and their longer recent sequence includes emphatic victories and a resilient draw. Beitar Jerusalem, meanwhile, arrive with a mixed league ledger but with some eye-catching attacking outputs: a 5-0 win earlier in the summer and a cluster of results that highlight their ability to produce chances. The head-to-head history adds spice—Beitar hammered Hapoel 5-1 in their last meeting, a result that cannot be ignored.

Statistically, the visitors bring superior offensive metrics into the contest. Beitar average more total shots, more shots on target, and markedly higher “attacks” and “dangerous attacks” numbers than Hapoel, figures that point to sustained offensive pressure when they travel. Hapoel’s profile is different: efficient in recent results, solid at home in terms of points momentum but not as dominant in raw attacking volume. Both sides have shown they can find the net this season; Hapoel scored twice in their last league outing and Beitar have also hit the back of the net with regularity. Individual mentions from recent games—Andrian Kraev standing out for Hapoel’s previous match and Miguel Silva leading the ratings for Beitar’s last outing—underscore players who have made a difference in those encounters.

Given the stakes early in the campaign and the shape of both squads, this fixture is poised to be competitive and eventful. Hapoel’s form and home advantage counterbalance Beitar’s attacking firepower and bookmaker confidence.

Betting suggestion: Pick: Beitar Jerusalem (Away) to win — 1X2 market. The bookmakers price the away side at 1.95 with a probability around 51%, and the underlying attacking metrics (higher shots, shots on target, and dangerous attacks) combined with their convincing recent head-to-head win make Beitar the value selection despite Hapoel’s strong recent results.
