Maccabi Haifa vs Beitar Jerusalem Prediction and Betting Tips | July 22, 2023

Maccabi Haifa and Beitar Jerusalem lock horns at the Sammy Ofer Stadium on Saturday (July 22) in the Israel Super Cup.

After winning the Israel Toto Cup, the country's top football division, for the third straight year, Maccabi play in the Supercup once again. They won in 2021 but lost last year to Hapoel Be'er Sheva, who prevailed 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

The Greens are looking to avoid another loss and win the cup for a fifth time. They have momentum, too, having saw off Hamrun 6-1 on aggregate in the UEFA Champions League first qualifying round. They thrashed the Maltese outfit 4-0 away from home in the first leg before coming from behind to pick up a 2-1 win at home.

Meanwhile, Beitar haven't seen much game time this summer, beating Cypriot side APOEL Nicosia 2-1 in a friendly on July 9. After the Super Cup clash, the capital side have a European qualifying game to negotiate, having drawn PAOK in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Maccabi Haifa have dominated the fixture in recent years and will come in with plenty of confidence. Beitar, meanwhile, haven't played enough games to blow away the cobwebs, which could come back to haunt them.

The Greens should extend their winning run over Beitar to eight games.
