Beitar Jerusalem vs Sutjeska Prediction & Betting Tips (31 July)

The Beitar Jerusalem receives this Thursday evening the Montenegrine team from Sutjeska on behalf of the quarter -finals for the Conference League. The first leg had resulted in a victory for the Israeli team 2-1, thanks to goals from Yarden Shua and Omer Atzili, the two Beitar attackers. They quickly reversed the steam after conceding the first goal of the meeting in the 28th minute. Beitar Jerusalem will have finished the previous season in 5th place in the ranking and therefore logically qualified for this competition, they who usually play the Europa League. To exist in League Conference, Beitar Jerusalem will have no choice but to win at home to take an option on qualification.

For his part, Sutjeska has already played a first qualification round for this competition against the Bulgarian club of Dynamo Brest. After a defeat in the first leg 1-2, Sutjeska had managed to win on 2-0 trip and had therefore validated his ticket thanks to a 3-2 victory over all of the two games. It is not impossible that this little club will have the will to reiterate this feat in the return match against Beitar Jerusalem. 

Under the sharp lights and mounting pressure of European nights, Beitar Jerusalem and Sutjeska clashed in a matchup that underscored tactical discipline and clinical finishing. Beitar Jerusalem emerged with narrow yet decisive 2–1 victories over Sutjeska in both encounters, reflecting a side able to turn moments of brilliance into goals. Their strength lay in exploiting space and managing momentum at key intervals, with attacking coordination that pierced through Sutjeska’s defenses, especially late in the match when fatigue set in. The Israeli side’s composure and effective pressing allowed them to capitalize on Sutjeska's transitional vulnerabilities.

Sutjeska, while consistently finding the net, often fell short in converting pressure into sustained control. Their repeated 2–1 wins against Dynamo Brest and Spartak Subotica show a pattern of tightly contested fixtures where their attacking edge was just enough to tip the balance. However, against Beitar Jerusalem, that edge dulled under compact defending and counter-attacking precision. Despite the defeats, Sutjeska’s resilience and ability to score in every match highlight a squad capable of challenging high-caliber opponents, but perhaps lacking that final touch of defensive assurance when tested by relentless offensive play.

Momentum often favors the side that knows how to seize it, and Beitar Jerusalem appears poised to do just that with a projected 3–1 victory over Sutjeska on July 31st. Their recent form at home has shown flashes of attacking brilliance, and against a Sutjeska squad that has struggled to contain pressure in key moments, Beitar’s offensive rhythm could prove decisive. While Sutjeska may find a way through once, the overall balance of play and tactical sharpness leans heavily toward the Israeli side, making a 3–1 scoreline not just plausible—but likely.

• Summary: Beitar Jerusalem is going head to head with FK Sutjeska Nikšić starting on 31 Jul 2025 at 17:30 UTC at Stadionul Ilie Oană stadium, Ploiesti city, Romania. The match is a part of the UEFA Conference League, Qualification .
