Hapoel Beer Sheva vs Vikingur Reykjavik
📖 The Preview
Vikingur head to Beer Sheva holding a 2-1 advantage from the first leg, so they're already in the driving seat here. Their recent form backs that up too — eight wins from their last ten compared to Hapoel managing just one. The Israelis need a win, which means pushing forward and leaving gaps, and Vikingur look well-placed to exploit exactly that on the counter. A tight, low-scoring affair suits the Icelanders just fine, and a 0-2 away win would see them through comfortably.
