Maccabi Haifa vs Maccabi Tel Aviv: match statistics
Maccabi Haifa is in excellent form in their last five matches (4 wins, 1 draw) and has not conceded a goal during this period, indicating solid defense. The hosts have a decent home record (50% wins), but their high loss percentage (38%) is a cause for concern. Maccabi Tel Aviv is higher in the table and demonstrates better away effectiveness (56% wins, 44% clean sheets), although their recent form is slightly weaker (3 draws in 5 matches). The visitors' advantage in possession (63% vs 58%) and higher xG (2.06 vs 1.66) suggest greater control of the game, but the hosts' superb current form and home advantage level the odds. A close, tactical encounter between two of the league's top teams is expected, where a draw seems the most probable outcome, though a slight edge for the hosts stems from their impressive unbeaten run.
