Villarreal vs. Hapoel Be'er Sheva

Hapoel Be'er Sheva needs a strong showing if it hopes to remain alive in this Group C Europa Conference League tilt. Hapoel is a strong team in Israel's Ligat Ha'al, in third place while outscoring opponents 20-11 in nine matches, on a 1-0-4 run overall. In Europa Conference League games, they're on a 0-1-3 run with a 1-1 DRAW versus Lech Poznań and a pair of 0-0 scoreless ties against Austria Vienna and Lech Poznań. They have to head out on the road for this one where they've tied their last three Europa Conference League road contests allowing just one goal. Villarreal can play strong defense, as well, outscoring Spanish La Liga foes 14-7 through 11 matches. They're shorthanded, though, with winger Alfonso Pedraza, striker Gerard Moreno, defensive midfielder Etienne Capoue, and right-back Juan Foyth all out with injuries. Play Villarreal/Hapoel Be'er Sheva to DRAW.
