State Cup Women’s Match Preview: Macc Beer W Hosts MS Sderot

SDEROT, Israel (Interstat) — A contrasting State Cup Women’s round of 16 matchup is set for Saturday as in-form MS Sderot travels to face Macc Beer W, a team that has not played a competitive match in over two and a half years.

The fixture, scheduled for Dec. 27, 2025, at a venue to be determined, pits recent momentum against prolonged inactivity. The visiting Sderot side enters on a three-match winning streak across all competitions, most recently defeating Hapoel Ironi Arraba 2-1 at home on Tuesday.

Their season form shows a potent attack, including a 5-0 victory over Hapoel Bnei Ashdod on Sept. 2 and a 2-1 road win at MK Bnei Eilat on Sept. 5.

The home side, Macc Beer W, presents a significant unknown. Its most recent recorded result is a 4-0 loss to Bnot Netanya on March 2, 2023 — a gap of 1,005 days. The team’s current roster composition and competitive sharpness are unverified.

Statistical projections for the contest are in direct conflict. Interstat’s ELO rating system heavily favors the home side, calculating Macc Beer W with a 72.70% probability to win. However, the same service’s game simulator predicts a lopsided 4-1 victory for the visiting MS Sderot, highlighting the anomaly presented by the host’s extended absence from play.

The match outcome will likely hinge on whether Macc Beer W can overcome the inevitable rust from its long hiatus. Sderot, carrying confidence from its consecutive victories, will aim to exploit any early disorganization.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. local time. The winner will advance to the quarterfinal round of the domestic cup competition.
