Two Israeli internationals will find themselves on opposite ends of the pitch on Tuesday night when Southampton host West Ham United in the second round of the League Cup at St Mary's Stadium, and ONE has taken a look at what it will actually cost supporters to be in the stands for it.
Goalkeeper Daniel Peretz starts the season as a Southampton player in his own right after his loan from Bayern Munich was converted into a permanent four-year deal over the summer. Across town in the away dugout's colours will be Manor Solomon, the winger who left Tottenham Hotspur for West Ham in a deal worth roughly £7 million ahead of the new campaign.
Both clubs come into the tie from the Championship, having been relegated from the Premier League, and both are chasing an immediate return to the top flight — which gives an otherwise routine early-season cup fixture an extra edge, since one side's involvement in the competition ends here.
Kick-off is set for 7:45pm local time at St Mary's, with the winner advancing to the third round of a competition that both promotion-chasing clubs would happily go deep in without it derailing their league campaigns.
According to figures from the ticket resale tracker SeatPick cited by ONE, prices for the match vary sharply depending on where in the ground a fan wants to sit. The cheapest tickets start at around $35, standard seats run between roughly $143 and $145, and premium hospitality-style seating can climb as high as $1,400.
As with any resale marketplace, prices are subject to shift with demand in the days before kick-off, and fans are advised to check the authenticity of tickets bought outside official club channels before parting with their money.
For Israeli football followers, the fixture offers a rare early-season novelty: two national team teammates renewing their rivalry in English football's supporting cup competition, with Peretz between the posts for the hosts and Solomon looking to add to his lively start in West Ham colours.
