Hapoel Tel Aviv form and stats

Hapoel Tel Aviv have played 7 Ligat ha'Al games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-3 (wins-draws-losses).

A nice win for Aviv last time playing, versus Ironi Kiryat Shmona. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with Einbinder (2) scoring for the victors.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Ashdod with a 4-1 scoreline.

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 Hapoel Tel Aviv have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won six times, drawn zero and lost zero.

Hapoel Tel Aviv are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 7 games. On the other hand, Hapoel Tel Aviv have conceded 10 goals.

Maccabi Petah Tikva form and stats

There's been little loot from Maccabi Petah Tikva's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 7 away games in the Ligat ha'Al. Maccabi Petah Tikva only have 0 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw. It's looking increasingly bleak for Maccabi Petah Tikva who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Hapoel Hadera was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Maccabi Petah Tikva might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Maccabi Tel Aviv proved too strong as Maccabi slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at HaMoshava Stadium.

A 0-1 defeat away at Ironi Kiryat Shmona before that.

Maccabi Petah Tikva are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, zero draws and three defeats. From a total of six matches.

Maccabi are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 7 away games. Maccabi Petah Tikva have conceded 9 goals in these away matches.
