Hapoel Haifa

LLWDLD

Hapoel Haifa will play in this game following a 1-1 Ligat HaAl drawn match vs Hapoel Hadera.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent games where Hapoel Haifa haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Hapoel Haifa have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 7 goals during that time.

Coming into this fixture, Hapoel Haifa have left without a victory over Maccabi Netanya in their last 7 matches in the league.

Maccabi Netanya

DLWLLD

Last time out, Maccabi Netanya drew 0-0 in the Ligat HaAl match with Bnei Sakhnin.

The stats don’t lie, and Maccabi Netanya have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 9 goals in all. Defensively, Maccabi Netanya have clearly had some problems. That kind of pattern might not be carried forward here, though.

Their previous form shows that Maccabi Netanya:

• have not won against Hapoel Haifa in away games against them for the last 2 league games.
• haven't been defeated by Hapoel Haifa when having played them away from home in the previous 3 matches in the league.
• are without an away win for the past 8 matches in the league. A poor run.
