Comparative Team Statistics: Hapoel Beer Sheva vs OFI

Early days in the league phase

The standings here reflect the Europa League league phase, and both teams have played just one match. OFI sit in 9th with 3 points after a 2-0 win with a clean sheet, while Hapoel Beer Sheva are down in 20th having drawn 0-0.

It's a tiny sample to lean on. One result each tells us little about where either side will be once more rounds are played.

What we know about personnel

The player data available only covers OFI, and it's a thin picture. Aitor Cantalapiedra leads their scoring with a single goal in three matches, while Borja González and K. Kodro each have one assist apiece in very limited minutes.

There's nothing here on Hapoel Beer Sheva's squad, so we can't comment on their personnel situation. The OFI numbers also don't tell us much about who else might be contributing going forward.

How the match might unfold

Hapoel Beer Sheva's defensive record across their sample, 38 goals conceded in 20 games, suggests they can be got at. OFI's clean sheet in their one league-phase match so far fits a side that's generally kept things tighter defensively this season.

With a month still to go before kickoff, form can shift. But on what we've seen, OFI look the more balanced side right now, while Hapoel Beer Sheva's home form in this sample hasn't been especially reassuring.
