AEK Athens will be keen to make the most of their home advantage as they play Hapoel Be’er Sheva in the second qualifying round of the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League. This first-leg match at the OPAP Arena on Thursday comes with our prediction of over 2.5 goals. The winner of this two-legged tie will go on to face the victors from the Aris Limassol vs Puskas Akademia tie in the next qualifying round.
Athens finished fourth in the Greek Super League Championship round last season to gain a direct entry to this stage. Be’er Sheva lost to Levski Sofia in the first qualifying round of the Europa League on penalties after both legs finished 0-0 during regular time and subsequently dropped to this tier.
The hosts warmed up for this contest with three consecutive wins in friendlies, which were preceded by a defeat to Waregem. Two of those victories have come by a single margin, so this could be a tight game too.
Be’er Sheva are unbeaten during regular time this season, drawing two and winning one. Both their matches in the Europa League qualifiers ended 0-0 during regular time.
Sandwiched between those two draws was a 2-1 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Super Cup. Interestingly, all three competitive matches this season saw Be’er Sheva receive one red card.

Our AEK Athens vs Hapoel Beer Sheva Prediction
Hapoel Be’er Sheva have been regulars in the European qualifiers over the last few seasons but have struggled to set the counter tingling. Most of their recent matches in Europe have been low scorers, as ten of their last 13 games ended with two or fewer goals. AEK will look to make amends for their miss last season, where they couldn’t go past the third qualifying round of this competition.
This could be a tight game with few goals, and our AEK Athens vs Hapoel Beer Sheva prediction is under 2.5.
