Prediction AZ Alkmaar - Hapoel Beer Sheva today 23:45 15/10/2026.

Alkmaar is experiencing a period of resurgence with a streak of 7 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, demonstrating significant stability and a win rate of 70%, evidence of impressive performance.

Alkmaar has a strong attacking performance with an average of 2.2 goals per game, including three matches where they scored three or more goals, demonstrating their ability to control the game and create clear opportunities.

Alkmaar has kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 10 matches, showing that their defense is strong enough to maintain good results, especially when facing strong opponents.

They have defeated major opponents such as PSV Eindhoven (4-0) and are capable of winning against higher-level teams, demonstrating confidence and competitive prowess.

The average yellow card rate of 1.3 per match reflects the players' active participation in contesting situations, however, it is not too severe.

The reserve players group (Calvin Stengs, Weslley Pinto Batista, Dave Kwakman) have not shown a prominent role, highlighting the lack of distinctiveness in substitution choices.

The absence of Denso Kasius (9 matches due to a hip injury) and Stije Resink (31 matches due to a knee injury) could severely impact the defense and the team's ability to build play from the back, especially when key players are missing.

When facing teams with a tight defensive style (such as Sunderland), Alkmaar only had 5 corners and conceded 1 goal, showing limitations in controlling the game and creating pressure.

Although the average defense is 0.9 goals per game, the defensive line still conceded 9 goals in 10 matches, indicating a weakness in maintaining a clean sheet when facing strong opponents.

Hapoel Beer Sheva demonstrated their ability to recover from defeat, evidenced by their 2-0 victory over Ironi Tiberias immediately after their loss to Maccabi TA, showcasing their unyielding fighting spirit.

The team has a stable personnel framework with central players such as Miguel Vitor (defender), Niv Yehoshua (midfielder) who play regularly and provide stability to the team's lineup.

Hapoel Beer Sheva is ranked 18th in the UEFA Europa League 2026-2027 season standings, however, they have not played any matches yet, so it is not possible to accurately assess their performance or motivation.

The team has kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 10 matches, indicating that their defensive ability has moments of stability, but not enough to confirm tactical solidity.

Hapoel Beer Sheva conceded 17 goals in their last 10 matches, with three losses featuring large goal differentials (1-4, 0-2, 0-4), highlighting a lack of focus and vulnerability to counterattacks when they fail to maintain the pace of play.

The team received a total of 25 yellow cards and 3 red cards (an average of 2.5 yellow cards per game), particularly in the match against Maccabi TA (5 yellow cards, 1 red card) and the match against Sabah Baku (2 red cards), reflecting a lack of discipline and emotional control during the matches.

The attacking line is inefficient, with the three main forwards (Igor Zlatanović, Javon East, Yonas Malede) not scoring or creating any chances, showing a lack of creativity and weak finishing ability.
