Sabah FK vs. MH Hapoel Be'er Sheva

Sabah FK enters the UEFA Champions League play-off second leg trailing 2-1 on aggregate after Hapoel Be'er Sheva's first-leg comeback victory in Bucharest on August 19. The Azerbaijani side's strong home record in European ties, including recent comebacks in qualifiers against AGF and others, underpins trader consensus favoring a Sabah win at around 50.5% implied probability. Hapoel, which eliminated Red Star Belgrade en route, has shown resilience but faces a challenging away fixture at Bank Respublika Arena. Sabah's attacking output, led by Veljko Simić, and domestic form contrast with Hapoel's more limited away results in the competition, keeping draw and away-win probabilities balanced near 24.5% each. No major confirmed injuries or lineup changes alter the setup ahead of the August 25 kickoff.
