Match preview
Sabah FA host Hapoel Beer Sheva in the return leg of their UEFA Champions League qualifying tie, looking to overturn a 2-1 deficit suffered in the reverse fixture. The Azerbaijani side has been formidable on home turf, maintaining a flawless record across 3 home matches with 7 goals scored and none conceded.
Hapoel Beer Sheva arrive defending their narrow first-leg advantage. The Israeli outfit has shown solid continental form with 4 wins from 5 matches overall, scoring 8 goals and conceding just 3. However, having already tasted defeat on the road in recent domestic action, they will be wary of Sabah's clinical home momentum.
