Maccabi Tel Aviv have had a mixed run lately, winning some and losing some, so they're not in perfect form but they can definitely score. Hapoel Petah Tikva are struggling more, with mostly losses in their recent games, and they haven't been finding the net often.

When these two meet, the matches tend to be close and often produce goals, with several recent games ending in draws or high-scoring results. At home, Maccabi Tel Aviv look the stronger side, so this one seems likely to go their way, though a draw wouldn't be a surprise given how tight these meetings usually are.
