Aviv delivered a 3-3 draw playing at home against Hapoel Haifa (placed 11th) in their previous match. Hapoel Tel Aviv's last match (vs Hapoel Haifa) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 84th minute equalizer by Zrihan. The draw against Hapoel Haifa came from a losing position. The Hapoel Tel Aviv manager Drapić brought on Zrihan as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.

A loss, in the State Cup away at Hapoel Afula, earlier. So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Aviv playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were 7 Hapoel Tel Aviv wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats.

The Hapoel Tel Aviv manager Drapić has some worries about the defense as 15 goals have been conceded in these travels.
