Maccabi Haifa vs Hapoel Hadera Prediction & Betting Tips (28 October)

Winning games has come easily to Maccabi Haifa on their own patch of late, as they have triumphed 19 times in their most recent 21 matches at the top table of the Ligat ha'Al. Hapoel Hadera, on the other hand, have found the going extremely tough on their travels in the last few months, suffering six defeats in eight fixtures in the Ligat ha'Al.

When Maccabi Haifa take to the field in the Ligat ha'Al, under 3.5 goals is usually the order of the day, as this has been the case in ten of their most recent 14 matches at this elite domestic level. Given that 14 of the previous 19 Hapoel Hadera games at the top table of the Ligat ha'Al have followed the same pattern, any deviation from this script would come as a bit of a surprise.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from five of the previous six Maccabi Haifa home games in the Ligat ha'Al, so thrillers have been few and far between at the home Stadium. As for Hapoel Hadera, just four of their most recent 17 away matches at this level have produced goals at both ends, which doesn’t offer much hope.
