Maccabi Netanya host Ironi Kiryat Shmona, with the home side having managed only a 1-1 draw in their last match, while the visitors come in off a 1-3 defeat in which their defence still looked unsettled. The two teams therefore arrive in clearly different moods. Maccabi Netanya have collected 6 points from 6 matches, scoring 7 and conceding 7, a team that does not attack heavily but does not let opponents score easily either. Ironi Kiryat Shmona have collected 3 points from 6 matches, scoring 6 and conceding 14; their defence is a problem that has haunted them throughout, and the recent 1-3 defeat only confirmed that same picture. If the home side score first, the game will likely flow in the direction of the home side pressing on, but the first half of both teams' matches usually features goals, and the home side themselves have a record of conceding more in the second half than the first. The game could open up into more of an exchange late on.
