Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Maccabi Haifa prediction, H2H and probable lineups – April 14, 2025
On Monday, April 14, 2025, the central match of the Israeli Premier League round will take place at Bloomfield Stadium in Tel Aviv, where Maccabi Tel Aviv hosts Maccabi Haifa. Both teams are among the top three in the championship, but their current form and statistics vary significantly. I suggest considering a bet on goals scored by one of the teams in this match.
Maccabi Tel Aviv
The hosts come into the match in excellent form—having won five consecutive games, scoring 15 goals and conceding only 4. In the last round, Maccabi Tel Aviv confidently defeated Maccabi Netanya with a score of 4-1.
Currently, the team holds the top spot in the standings with 66 points, leading the nearest rival by only two points. At their home stadium, Maccabi has won 10 out of 15 matches, scoring 33 goals and conceding just 13.
This season, Maccabi Tel Aviv has already completed its participation in other tournaments, allowing them to focus exclusively on the championship race. In the Europa League, the team failed to advance to the playoffs, finishing 29th overall, and in the Israel Cup, they unexpectedly exited in the round of 16, losing to Maccabi Bnei Reineh 1-2.
Maccabi Haifa
Maccabi Haifa has been showing inconsistent results lately. In the last six matches, the team has won only once, lost three times, and drawn twice. The defense looks particularly weak—13 goals conceded during this period and only one clean sheet. In the last round, Haifa was defeated at home by Hapoel Be'er Sheva with a crushing 0-3 score.
In the standings, the team is in third place with 51 points. The gap from the leader is already 15 points, and now Haifa is focused on the battle for the European competition zone.
Like their opponents, Maccabi Haifa has ended its participation in other tournaments. In the Israel Cup, the team was knocked out at the quarter-final stage, losing to Hapoel Be'er Sheva 0-2.
Probable lineups
Maccabi Tel Aviv: Sluga, Revivo, Shlomo, Stojic, Asante, Peretz, Sissoko, Kanichowsky, Patati, Zahavi, Davida
