Hapoel Haifa vs Maccabi Haifa prediction and betting tips on April 29, 2024
One of the matches of the 31st round of the Israeli Premier League will be played on Monday in Haifa, where Hapoel and Maccabi will clash in the derby. Here's the prediction for this match from the DailySports experts.
Hapoel Haifa
The "Sharks" are having a commendable season and have rightfully found themselves in the upper echelons of the league table, battling for European qualification. Currently, Hapoel occupies the fourth position in the league table, accumulating 50 points after 30 rounds. Essentially, the primary objective for the "Sharks" now is the fight for the third position, which is five points away. Catching up with the leading duo is virtually impossible! In their last match, Roni Levi's team played an away match against the league-leading Maccabi Tel Aviv and suffered a devastating 0-4 defeat. This loss marked the fourth in the last five matches for the "Sharks."
Maccabi Haifa
The "Greens" sit in the second position in the league table and are attempting to challenge the capital's Maccabi, although catching up with the leader will be challenging. Currently, under Messay Dego's leadership, the team has accumulated 62 points after 30 rounds, which is 12 points fewer than the leader. A meager consolation here is the fact that the "Greens" have a match in hand. In the last round, Maccabi hosted Hapoel Be'er Sheva and secured a comfortable 4-1 victory. This win marked the second consecutive victory for the "Greens from Carmel," while Dego's team remains undefeated in three consecutive rounds.
