Team News: Hapoel Haifa
Almost everyone can be considered, as thereโs just one fitness concern for the Hapoel Haifa manager Ronny Levy to contend with due to a largely intact squad. Yasmao Cabeda (Knee injury) is out of contention.

Team News: Maccabi Haifa
Maccabi Haifa boss Messay Dego has to currently contend with reduced team options. Dolev Haziza (Achilles tendon irritation), Sun Menahem (concussion), Erik Shuranov (Cruciate ligament surgery), Daniil Lesovoy (Ankle injury) and Anan Khalaili (Torn knee ligaments) are names that wonโt be on the team sheet.

Prediction
We feel that Hapoel Haifa could find themselves struggling to be putting a goal past this Maccabi Haifa lineup who we reckon will be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.
We therefore see a good tussle with a 0-1 winning margin for Maccabi Haifa when the full-time whistle blows.
Hopefully itโs a good one.
