Maccabi Jaffa Preview – Can Maccabi Jaffa continue momentum?
It’s the Leumit League relegation play-offs on Monday evening and Liga Alef outfit, Maccabi Jaffa, will be hoping that home advantage can see the third tier hosts through to promotion up to the Israeli Leumit League with a win here.
Maccabi Jaffa finished runners-up in the Liga Alef South B division and the hosts have produced a strong finish to their campaign as they’ve lost just two of their last 13 matches overall, recording nine wins along the way and they’ll be upbeat about their chances here.
The hosts have also lost just one of their last 11 matches at home in all competitions and they beat Hapoel Umm al-Fahm on penalties in their only other meeting in the State Cup back in 2016.
Hapoel Umm Preview – Can Hapoel Umm retain Leumit League status?
Monday’s visitors, Hapoel Umm al-Fahm face a tricky relegation play-off tie against Maccabi Jaffa as they look to retain their second tier status but find themselves in this situation after finishing third from bottom in the Relegation Round group of the Leumit League.
Hapoel Umm’s situation could have been worse though as they secured back-to-back wins in the Relegation round to escape automatic relegation by the skin of their teeth, thanks to wins against Hapoel Petah Tikva and Kafr Qasim in their final two matches of the second phase of the season.
However, form and results away from home have been sketchy for the visitors who have registered just four wins from their last 14 games on their travels, so they’re by no means out of the woods yet.
