Beersheba is coming off a 1-0 defeat to Maccabi Tel Aviv in Netanya last weekend which cut the gap at the top to just five points. On the back of another chapter in the never-ending Maor Buzaglo saga and with the resumption of its Europa League campaign just around the corner, Hapoel Beersheba aims to ensure it doesn’t allow Maccabi Tel Aviv any closer in the Premier League standings when it hosts Hapoel Ashkelon on Saturday.
