Match highlights
PremiumMatch analysis
Maccabi Haifa's attack rating of 7.0, the highest of either side in this fixture, is why Superior's model still gives Maccabi Tel Aviv's defence a fight in Israel's Ligat Ha'al on 31 August, projecting a tight 1-1 with 2-1 to the hosts as the alternative.
Haifa's attack against a shakier home defence
Haifa's attack rating of 7.0 sits above Tel Aviv's defence rating of 6.0, and their recent scoring backs it up: four wins from their last five, including a 4-2 win over Ironi Tiberias, with a converted-chances rate of 83.4 percent that is the best on this slate. Tel Aviv have needed a stoppage-time comeback of their own recently, winning 5-2 away at Hapoel Katamon after twice trailing.
The home side has form for shutting this fixture down
The projected 1-1 leans on the head to head record more than raw form: Tel Aviv have won three of the last five meetings between these two clubs, including a 3-0 win in May, and Haifa have won only once in that span. A repeat of Haifa's away struggles in this specific fixture, rather than their broader hot streak, is the scenario that would leave the scoreline closer to 1-0 than the shootout their attack rating suggests.
