Hapoel Ra'anana come into this match in decent form, having won three of their last five games while only losing once. They're playing well at the moment and look reasonably comfortable. Kiryat Yam SC, on the other hand, are struggling badly: they've lost three of their last five and only managed one win, including a heavy defeat in their most recent outing. When these two teams met recently, the games were quite eventful, with one finishing with four goals and another with two, so there's a good chance of goals here again.

This looks like a close match, and it's hard to call a clear winner. Both teams have reasons for optimism-Ra'anana's steady form against Kiryat Yam's poor run-but the head-to-head history and the overall balance suggest the points could be shared. It looks most likely to end in a draw.
