Hapoel Petah Tikva vs Hapoel Tel Aviv Prediction & Betting Tips (4 March)

It would be fair to say that Hapoel Tel Aviv have been struggling on their top-flight travels of late, with their current run of 12 consecutive defeats forming part of a 13-match winless sequence. Hapoel Petah Tikva, meanwhile, have enjoyed 15 wins in 19 home games at this level of late, plus confidence should be high after starting the season with a victory.

Recent top-flight matches at the Hapoel Petah Tikva Stadium have not exactly been awash with excitement, as seven of the previous ten have served up two goals or fewer. A visit from a Hapoel Tel Aviv team who have found the net just once in their last six trips at this level is unlikely to result in a high-scoring contest this time around either.

Hapoel Tel Aviv have been rock-solid defensively over the course of their previous six Ligat ha'Al matches, conceding just a single goal on the way to collecting 17 points from a possible 18. Given that both teams have found the net in just one of the last nine league games involving Hapoel Petah Tikva, any deviation from this script would come as a bit of a surprise.
