Hapoel Haifa and Hapoel Petah Tikva meet in the league in clearly contrasting form. Hapoel Haifa have just lost 2-6 in their latest league match, while Hapoel Petah Tikva also just lost 0-1 and are still without a win in 5 straight matches. Hapoel Haifa this season have scored 11 and conceded 15 in 8 matches. The attack is serviceable but the defense is badly leaky, especially late in games where they concede 25% of goals in the 76-90 minute period. Hapoel Petah Tikva are worse than the numbers suggest: they have scored only 3 goals all season, conceded 12, and lost by 1 goal or more in 4 of their last 5 matches. Their attack barely creates chances, with only 2.11 shots on target per game over their last 9 matches. This game is likely to play out with Hapoel Haifa dominating possession and pressing continuously, while Hapoel Petah Tikva sit deep and wait to counter. If the hosts score first, the game should flow one way and end in a Hapoel Haifa victory.
