It's early days in the Ligat ha'Al and both Hapoel Hadera and Maccabi Tel Aviv are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Hapoel Hadera form and stats

Hapoel Hadera faced defeat in their previous match, away at Hapoel Tel Aviv (0-1). Prior to that, an away loss at Beitar Jerusalem.

Maccabi Tel Aviv form and stats
Things could have gone better for Maccabi Tel Aviv in their Ligat ha'Al away matches, but 5 points from 3 games is all right.
It's the second away game in a row for Maccabi Tel Aviv, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Bnei Sakhnin (placed 14th) in the Ligat ha'Al last time out. Preceding that game, the 0-4 loss visiting Villarreal's place.
