M Haifa:
Maccabi Haifa is one of the main candidates to fight for the title with Maccabi Tel Aviv and has managed, for now, to differentiate itself from the main rivals in this matter. At the start of matchday 10 of the Ligat ha’Al regular phase, the group led by coach Barak Bakhar leads the standings, with the same 19 points as Maccabi Petach Tikva. After a two-game losing streak, Maccabi Haifa seems to have found the best form of the season internally, as they thrashed Sakhnin 3-0 on Tuesday for a convincing third win in a row. After five minutes, Menachem opened the scoring, with Chery (66 ‘) and Haziza (75’) closing the scoring in the second half, in a match where Maccabi Haifa had a good performance.
Hapoel TA:
Hapoel Tel Aviv aspires to fight for maintenance, preferably managing to finish the regular phase of the Israeli championship in the top six. So far, the team led by coach Nir Klinger has not lived up to expectations, ranking 13th and penultimate in the leaderboard, with only six record points and a one-point lead for Hapoel Hadera, the “ red lantern ”of the contest. Last Wednesday, Hapoel Tel Aviv was defeated, 2-0, in the visit to the Hapoel Haifa field, in a match delayed for the 3rd round, where they did not get the necessary shot. This was the fifth game in a row without a win for Klinger’s team and, more worryingly, the fifth game without scoring a single goal.
PREDICTION: Under 2,5 goals @ 1,71
