Kiryat Yam have had a rough run lately, losing three of their last five and drawing one, so they come into this one struggling for form. Maccabi Kabilio Jaffa have also been up and down, winning two and losing three of their last five, so neither team looks especially settled right now. When these two have met recently, the games have usually been high-scoring and lopsided, with plenty of goals going in.

Overall this looks like a fairly open match between two teams that aren't in great shape, and with recent meetings producing lots of goals, it could be an entertaining one. Given Kiryat Yam's poor recent results and Maccabi Kabilio Jaffa's slightly better away showings, Maccabi Kabilio Jaffa look the more likely to come out on top.
