Bnei Sakhnin and Hapoel Petah Tikva meet in situations so similar they are almost indistinguishable. Both have just closed out their last five matches with a draw in the most recent game. The hosts finished with a 0-0 draw away from home, while the visitors also drew 1-1 at their own ground. Bnei Sakhnin went through an early-season spell where their attack was completely stuck, scoring only 3 goals from 6 matches, and they managed just a single goal in the game they won. Hapoel Petah Tikva have the same problem but worse, scoring the same 3 goals while conceding 9. A leaky defence is what has held them back all season. This looks likely to be a game where neither side dares to open up and trade blows, because both know that conceding first is the end of them. Bnei Sakhnin, as the home team, will probably be the one who has to take the initiative and push forward, while Hapoel Petah Tikva will likely sit deep and wait for the counter, which is the approach that got them through their latest match.
