Maccabi Bnei Raina come into this one in good form, having won three of their last five matches, though they did lose one heavily. Hapoel Acre have been up and down, mixing a couple of wins with losses and a draw. When these two met recently, the game finished goalless, and their other meetings have also been tight and low-scoring, so this has the feel of a close, cautious match rather than a shootout.

Given that Maccabi Bnei Raina are the side in better shape and playing at home, they look the more likely to come out on top, though it could easily end level.
