Maccabi Tel Aviv
WWWWDL
After a loss in their previous game against Beitar Jerusalem in Ligat HaAl competition, Maccabi Tel Aviv will be aiming to make amends here.
The only player to score from Maccabi Tel Aviv was Osher Davida (84'). Jean Harisson Marcelin (66') scored for Beitar Jerusalem.
In their last 6 clashes, Maccabi Tel Aviv have helped themselves to a total of 14 goals. Maccabi Tel Aviv have additionally got on the scoresheet in every single one of those games. During that period, they have had 6 goals go against them. That kind of pattern might not follow through into this next game, however.
Going into this encounter, Maccabi Tel Aviv remain undefeated by Hapoel Haifa when they have played them away from home in the previous 13 league games. A mightily impressive record on the road against them.

Prediction
Our thinking is that Hapoel Haifa should be able to find the net against this Maccabi Tel Aviv outfit, but one goal likely won’t be good enough.
We’ve gone for a close game with a 1-2 winning score for Maccabi Tel Aviv after 90 minutes. Should be a good one.
