Beitar Jerusalem looks to play a high press with a direct vertical style of play. The team utilizes a 3-4-3 formation to dominate the pitch and hunt for the ball high up the pitch. This lineup aims to squeeze the space and create chaos for the opposition through aggressive movement and constant pressure.

In goal, מיגל סילבה acts as the last line of defense. The back three consists of הארי מרסלן, ליאל דרעי, and גיל כהן. ליאל דרעי stays central to command the area, while הארי מרסלן and גיל כהן act as wide centre-backs to cover the flanks. This back three can shift to a more defensive block when the team sits deep, but they often play a high line to keep the team compact. They focus on winning the second ball and clearing the lines when under pressure.

The midfield operates with a central pairing and two wide players. ירין לוי and דור מיכה form a central duo that seeks to win the second ball and connect the defense to the attack. ירין לוי can drop deeper to receive the ball, while דור מיכה looks to carry the ball forward into the half spaces. On the flanks, טימוטי מוזי and גריגורי מורוזov act as wide midfielders who provide width. They are tasked to track back and support the wide centre-backs, but they also push up to help the attackers.

The attacking front line uses three players to stretch the defence. מיירון ג'ורג acts as the central striker, looking to find the feet of the striker and hold up the ball for others. On the wings, ירדן שועה and עומר אצילי operate as wide attackers. ירדן שועה likes to cut inside to find space, while עומר אצילי looks to get to the byline and deliver crosses. This front three works together to press from the front and create runs in behind the opposition back line.

Beitar Jerusalem finds success through several tactical advantages. The formation allows for wide overloads when טימוטי מוזי and גריגורי מורוזov push high to support the wingers. The central trio of ירין לוי, דור מיכה, and מיירון ג'ורג can create numerical superiority in the middle of the pitch to win possession back quickly. This ability to press in coordinated waves makes it hard for opponents to build from the back.

The 3-4-3 lineup is built for a high intensity game where the team can win it back high up the pitch. This setup is best suited for facing teams that struggle to play out from the back under heavy pressure.
