HaPoel Tel-Aviv secured a 95-82 victory over HaPoel Beer-Sheva in the Super League on 11 October 2026. The away side held their nerve throughout, building a lead that never really wavered. Beer-Sheva managed to keep things reasonably close for stretches, but the visitors were always a touch sharper when it mattered.
The result leaves Tel-Aviv firmly planted in second place with 22 wins from 26 games. Beer-Sheva remain eighth, their 10 victories and 16 defeats painting a picture of a side still searching for consistency. That gap in the table tells you everything about where these two stand at this stage.
Beer-Sheva have been patchy of late. They picked up a narrow win over Ashdod in mid-September, but followed it with defeats to Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv themselves. Tel-Aviv, meanwhile, are weighing up their chances with a run that includes wins over Red Star and Real Madrid, though Valencia got the better of them last time out.
We gave the away win beforehand, with 70 per cent confidence. To be fair, that felt like the right call. Tel-Aviv have the quality and the momentum to see this through, and Beer-Sheva have not looked like a side capable of stopping them.
The statistics back that up. Tel-Aviv shot more efficiently from the field, making 33 of 71 attempts compared to 32 from 75 for the hosts. They also took better care of the ball, committing just nine turnovers to 19. Beer-Sheva had more rebounds on their side, 41 to 35, but it was not enough to change the complexion of the game.
This moves Tel-Aviv closer to the top spot, though they still have work to do. Beer-Sheva's defeat adds another loss to an already heavy tally. The hosts will need to find a way to turn these results around if they want to climb out of the lower half.
