Hapoel Haifa and Hapoel Tel Aviv have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Ligat ha'Al.
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!
Hapoel Haifa form and stats
Hapoel Haifa have played 13 Ligat ha'Al games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-3-5 (wins-draws-losses).
Hapoel Haifa are confident in defense, having played 323 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
The Hapoel Haifa fans got no joy from their last match, a State Cup game also here at Sammy Ofer Stadium: A 0-2 defeat against Bnei Yehuda. A 0-0 draw away in the Ligat ha'Al before that, with Bnei Yehuda the opponent.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Hapoel Haifa as they have a new game in only four days, a Ligat ha'Al match thankfully also at home. Hapoel Be'er Sheva are visiting.
Hapoel Haifa are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 13 games. Hapoel Haifa's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 18 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Hapoel Tel Aviv form and stats
6-1-6 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Hapoel Tel Aviv in their Ligat ha'Al matches away.
Hapoel Tel Aviv had fun at their own home (Sammy Ofer Stadium) last time out, beating Hapoel Ra'anana (after extra-time) 2-1. S. Spirovski and E. Boateng scored. Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Hapoel Hadera in the Ligat ha'Al.
After this away game Hapoel Tel Aviv return home for a Ligat ha'Al game against Beitar Jerusalem. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hapoel Tel Aviv as they have only managed to score 11 times from 13 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Hapoel Tel Aviv have conceded 24 goals in their away games.
