It's still early in the Ligat ha'Al season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Hapoel Tel Aviv - Hapoel Hadera preview!
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Hapoel Tel Aviv form and stats
Two Ligat ha'Al home games so far for Hapoel Tel Aviv, who are yet to win here at Bloomfield Stadium. Only 1 point so far.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Aviv, who played 1-1 against Beitar Jerusalem. That match was also played at this venue (Bloomfield Stadium). Preceding that match was the home game against Ashdod that was lost 0-2.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Aviv have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost one.
At Bloomfield Stadium, Hapoel Tel Aviv has the goal stats of 1-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Hapoel Hadera form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Ligat ha'Al for Hapoel Hadera with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Hadera, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus Beitar Jerusalem (placed 5th). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Ironi Kiryat Shmona that ended 1-1.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Beitar Jerusalem was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Hadera are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, three draws and three defeats. From a total of ten matches.
1 goal so far away for Hapoel Hadera, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 5. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last eight meetings: two - four - two (Aviv wins - draws - Hapoel Hadera wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Hapoel Tel Aviv missing players
