Hapoel Tel Aviv - Hapoel Petah Tikva: our prediction

Hapoel Petah Tikva has a very weak attack. In their last 10 matches, they have scored more than 1.5 goals only once (10%). Conversely, they have often been limited to 0 or 1 goal (90% of their games under 1.5 goals scored). Against a solid Tel Aviv defense (6 clean sheets), it is very likely that Petah Tikva will not score more than one goal.

Hapoel Tel Aviv's matches are often low-scoring: 80% of their games have under 2.5 goals. Hapoel Petah Tikva is also in a similar trend with 50% of their games under this threshold. Tel Aviv's defense is solid (6 clean sheets) and Petah Tikva's attack is ineffective (only 5 games with more than 0.5 goals scored). The scenario of a tight, low-scoring match is very likely.

Hapoel Tel Aviv is the favorite with odds of 1.4. Although their form is inconsistent (40% wins), they have a solid defense (6 clean sheets in 10 matches). On the other side, Hapoel Petah Tikva is in great difficulty with 70% losses and a defense that often concedes (7 games without a clean sheet). Furthermore, Tel Aviv does not lose when favored (5 games without defeat in this role).
