מ.סילבה 55 (GK) · ג.כהן 5 (CB) · א.דהן 20 (CB) · ב.קאראבלי 4 (CB) · י.כהן 16 (LM) · ט.מוזי 11 (RM) · י.לוי 8 (CM) · א.טאברש 42 (CM) · י.שועה 7 (LW) · ע.אצילי 77 (RW) · ד.חוגי 24 (ST)

Beitar Jerusalem looks to play a high press and vertical game using a 3-4-3 formation. This lineup is built to win the ball high up the pitch and immediately look to exploit space behind the opposition defense. By spreading the field with wide players, the team forces the opponent to stretch their lines and creates more room in the middle.

מ.סילבה stays between the posts to organize the defense. The back line functions as a back three with א.דהן acting as the central defender to command the area and win headers. To his left, ג.כהן covers the space and tracks runs, while ב.קאראבלי operates as the right center back to provide balance. This defensive unit works together to maintain a high line and squeeze the space in the middle of the pitch.

The midfield operates as a four man unit that connects the defense to the attack. י.לוי and א.טאברש occupy the central roles to shield the defense and win the second ball. They work to protect the center while looking to carry the ball forward. On the flanks, י.כהן and ט.מוזי act as wide midfielders who provide width and support the back three. These players are tasked to press aggressively to win the ball high and quickly transition into attack.

The attacking front line uses three attackers to pin the last defender. ד.חוגי acts as the central striker to hold up the ball and fight for position against center backs. On the wings, י.שועה and ע.אצילי play as wide forwards who look to cut inside and create goal scoring chances. The team builds play by using the wide players to spread the defense, allowing for runs in behind or quick combinations to split the defense with a through ball.

One major advantage for Beitar Jerusalem is the ability to press high in coordinated waves, which puts immense pressure on the opposition build up. The formation also allows for wide overloads when the wingers and wide midfielders combine to isolate defenders in one on one situations. This setup makes it difficult for opponents to play out from the back without making mistakes.

This 3-4-3 formation relies on high intensity and quick transitions to overwhelm the opponent. It is best suited for games where the team wants to dominate the tempo and exploit a high defensive line.
