The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Hapoel Haifa are in the 8th position while the guesting Hapoel Ra'anana worry at 14th.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Hapoel Haifa form and stats
Overall Ligat ha'Al stats at home this season for Hapoel Haifa are 4-1-5 (wins-draw-losses).
In their previous game, the manager H. Silbas led his Hapoel Haifa to a defeat in the Ligat ha'Al match away at Hapoel Be'er Sheva. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Sammy Ofer Stadium. Previous to that game, a State Cup home match hosting Kafr Qasim in a game that was won 1-0.
Hapoel Haifa are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 10 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Hapoel Haifa defense is not exactly impregnable. 15 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Hapoel Ra'anana form and stats
There's been little loot from Hapoel Ra'anana's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 9 away games in the Ligat ha'Al. Hapoel Ra'anana, who have the most conceded goals (21) away in Ligat ha'Al, only have 0 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 1 draw. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Hapoel Ra'anana are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Hapoel Ra'anana, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Hapoel Tel Aviv (placed 5th). Preceding that game was the away State Cup victory against Agudat Sport Ashdod with the score of 4-2.
A quick return to home after this game, as Hapoel Ra'anana are hosting Ironi Kiryat Shmona in the Ligat ha'Al only four days away.
The attacking power of Hapoel Ra'anana when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 9 league matches away. The Hapoel Ra'anana manager N. Avitan has some worries about the defense as 21 goals have been conceded in these travels.
