Hapoel continues to climb out of the basement after a poor start, but they are still a long way off from escaping the drop zone - still trailing by 6 points and 6 teams in close proximity. However, the visitors are playing terribly and have dropped from 5th to 9th place, just 3 points ahead of Hapoel - my bet is on the hosts claiming victory with an Asian handicap (0).
