On January 3rd, the Israeli Premier League grid will witness a face-off between Hapoel Petah Tikva and Maccabi Haifa teams.
In their most recent match, Hapoel Petah Tikva suffered a defeat against Hapoel Jerusalem, with a score of 1:2. In the ongoing 2023/2024 season, Petah Tikva holds the 14th position in the league classification. As it stands, they've played 13 games, of which they've emerged victorious in 2, lost 8 and had 3 draws. The team has scored 9 goals, but conceded 21. Their current points tally stands at 9, reflecting their poor form: a streak of five consecutive losses. Hapoel Jerusalem is sitting at 12th position in the league standings, having played 13 games, winning 3, losing 7, and amassing 12 points.
Maccabi Haifa is one of the leading teams in the Israeli championship. In their last game, held on December 31st, Maccabi Haifa clashed with Hapoel Tel Aviv, in a match that concluded with a 0:0 draw. Maccabi Haifa holds the second position in the Israeli championship standings. They've played 12 matches, won 8, suffered one loss and had 3 draws. The team's impressive record includes 25 goals scored and a mere 10 conceded. At this point in time, they have 26 points, with their form in the last 5 matches looking good with 4 wins and 1 draw. Hapoel Tel Aviv holds the 5th position in the league, after playing 13 games, winning 5, losing 4 and accumulating 19 points.
I'm placing my bet on a win for the visitors for a 1st half. Haifa is chasing the leader from Tel Aviv, and in their match against the bottom team, they may well clinch a confident victory.
