Hapoel Haifa vs Sakhnin Prediction & Betting Tips (9 May)

It would be fair to say that Sakhnin 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 Haifa, 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.

Anyone looking to see goals would be advised to avoid Hapoel Haifa at all costs, with no more than two being scored in 18 of the previous 21 Hapoel Haifa home games at this level. It has been a similar story in away matches involving Sakhnin in the Ligat ha'Al, with 15 of their previous 21 fixtures serving up under 2.5 goals.

Over the course of their most recent 15 matches at the top table of Spanish football, Hapoel Haifa have been involved in just three encounters in which the net has bulged at both ends. Such an occurrence has been similarly rare in top-flight fixtures involving Sakhnin, happening only once in seven attempts, so at least one of the two keepers should emerge with a clean sheet.
