Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv will visit Hapoel Be'er Sheva tonight at Toto Turner Stadium for Matchday 10 of the Winner League, in a marquee clash between second and third place. Ahead of kickoff, we have gathered the current form, table standings leading into the round, match officials, and full head-to-head history between the two clubs in the league.
Five Consecutive Wins and Heading to the Capital of the Negev
On Monday, in front of 25,700 supporters at Bloomfield Stadium, Hapoel edged Maccabi Haifa 2-1 courtesy of an own goal by Tsunami in the 9th minute (following a Fernán Mayembo header) and a strike by Daniel Dapaah in the 45th minute—his third consecutive goal. It marked the Reds' fifth straight league victory, a dominant run that began with a 3-0 win over Hapoel Petah Tikva and continued with a 3-1 triumph over Hapoel Kiryat Shmona, a 1-0 win against Ironi Tiberias, and a 3-0 victory over Hapoel Jerusalem at Teddy Stadium.
In their recent league encounters against Be'er Sheva last season, Hapoel was defeated in three of four meetings—2-1 and 2-0 at Turner, and 2-0 at Bloomfield. The lone victory came in January 2026, a dramatic 2-1 triumph at Bloomfield sealed by a stoppage-time winner from Amit Lemkin in the 90+7th minute.
