Maccabi Haifa

DWWLLL 📉

Since tasting defeat last time out to Maccabi Tel Aviv in Ligat HaAl competition, Maccabi Haifa will be aiming to make amends here.

Osher Davida (52') and Ido Shahar (88') scored for Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Indicating their partiality to action-packed matches, the back of the net has been hit 20 times in the previous six matches in which Maccabi Haifa have played, yielding an average of 3.33 goals per meeting. Opposition teams have managed 14 of those goals. Such a trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this game, however.

Going into this one, Maccabi Haifa are undefeated by Maccabi Netanya in away games against them for the last 4 league matches. A very decent away record against them.

ℹ️ Team News: Maccabi Netanya

There is just one fitness concern for the Maccabi Netanya boss Ren Kozuk to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Saher Taji (inflammation) is sidelined.

📰 Team News: Maccabi Haifa

Maccabi Haifa boss Barak Bakhar has multiple availability issues to deal with. Shon Goldberg (Inner knee ligament tear), Matías Nahuel (Partial muscle tear), Pedrão (Meniscus tear) and Rami Gershon (Hamstring injury) are those who can’t be considered.

✨ Prediction

For this match, we think that Maccabi Netanya have enough to score against this Maccabi Haifa lineup, but a single goal likely won’t prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

Therefore, we’re predicting a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 winning score for Maccabi Haifa when all is said and done. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
