Bnei Sakhnin

WWDLDL ⚖

Bnei Sakhnin will be looking for an improved result here after a 2-0 Ligat HaAl defeat last time out to Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Dor Peretz (89') and Eran Zahavi (90') scored for Maccabi Tel Aviv.

It’s not been often in recent times where Bnei Sakhnin have kept a clean sheet. In fact, Bnei Sakhnin have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 6 goals along the way. Regardless, we will just have to wait and see if the trend will persist in this game.

Their prior results show that Bnei Sakhnin:

• have not lost a league tie with Hapoel Haifa in their last 3 matches.
• are undefeated in their previous 3 league matches at home.
• have not won at home in their last 2 league games.

Hapoel Haifa

Following on from a loss in their previous game against Hapoel Be'er Sheva in Ligat HaAl action, Hapoel Haifa will be aiming to make amends here.

The only name on the scoresheet from Hapoel Haifa was Guy Melamed (55'). Alon Turgeman (22') and Artur Shushenachev (77') scored for Hapoel Be'er Sheva.

The stats don’t lie, and Hapoel Haifa have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 9 goals in all. In defence, Hapoel Haifa have seen their frailties exposed.

Leading up to this clash, Hapoel Haifa:

• remain unbeaten by Bnei Sakhnin when they have played them away from home in the previous 7 league games. A very decent away record against them.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 2 league games.
