Hapoel Be'er Sheva will host Lech Poznan on matchday four in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday (October 13).
The hosts are coming off a thrilling 2-2 home draw against Hapoel Haifa in the Israeli Ligat Ha'al on Sunday. The visitors twice took the lead, but Be'er Sheva fought back to claim a point.
Hapoel will now turn their attention to Group C of the Conference League, where they sit in third spot, having garnered two points from three games. Lech, meanwhile, are second on four points, Villarreal lead the way with nine points, while Austria Vienna have one.
Lech triumphed over Radomiak Radom with a lone goal in the Polish Estraklasa. Georgiy Tsitaishvili's early goal proved to be the difference between the two teams.
Poznan and Hapoel shared the spoils in an entertaining goalless draw on matchday three that saw over 30 shots on goal last week.

Hapoel Be'er Sheva vs Lech Poznan Prediction
This game could be a direct tussle for second place in the group. Their draw last week leaves the door open for both teams as well as bottom-placed Austria Vienna.
Lech are the more in-form team, having gone 12 games unbeaten across competitions. However, their poor away record in the continent doesn't inspire confidence.
Both teams are almost evenly matched, so there could be a repeat of the matchday three result, with goals at both ends.
