Hapoel Tel Aviv Prediction
As both teams use this stadium it’s actually a home game for both sides, but let’s take a look at Hapoel Tel Aviv’s recent results; the hosts have managed just two league wins throughout this whole campaign which have both been achieved at the Winner Stadium.
Wins over Hapoel Haifa and Bnei Sakhin have been a meagre return for Hapoel Tel Aviv as they sit firmly ensconced in the Relegation Round positions, sitting third from bottom in the Ligat Ha’al with 16 points to their name.
A major word of warning though – 10 points of these 16 have been earned in draws and Hapoel Tel Aviv are most definitely the ‘draw specialists’ in the Israeli top flight. Their home record stands at 2-4-2 5/6 though and goals have been few and far between for the home side.
Key-Facts – Hapoel Tel Aviv v Maccabi Tel Aviv
- Hapoel Tel Aviv have managed just two league wins to date

Overall, Maccabi Tel Aviv have won their last six league matches on the trot, amassing a total of 19 goals during this period and conceding just 3 in reply.
