Football : Israel: Premier League
Venue: Bloomfield
Wednesday 29th April 2026, 1730hrs (GMT)
Hapoel Tel Aviv will be brimming with confidence ahead of this upcoming encounter at home against Maccabi Haifa at Bloomfield in the Israeli Premier League following an important 1-0 win away from home at Hapoel Petach Tikva on the weekend.
That result has given Hapoel Tel Aviv a 10-point cushion over their upcoming visitors Maccabi Haifa and indeed the hosts had also finished above Maccabi at the conclusion of the Israeli top flight regular season as well.
Hapoel Tel Aviv have suffered just the one loss in their last 12 league matches overall in the domestic top flight which came in the shape of a 1-0 loss away from home at Maccabi Tel Aviv but having also collected a total of eight wins in the process as well, Elyaniv Barda’s side will be confident about their chances against Maccabi Haifa.
The hosts also held the best home record in the division at the end of the regular season at 12-0-1 27/9.
Maccabi Haifa have not made the best of starts in the early stages of the Championship Round group after the Premier League split at the end of the regular season as the visitors have been handed back-to-back defeats by the likes of Beitar Jerusalem and Maccabi Tel Aviv in 3-0 and 3-1 losses respectively.
The wider picture shows Maccabi Haifa have managed to capture just one win from their last five league matches overall, this coming in a comprehensive 4-1 romp over Kiryat Shmona on home soil but having also been dealt four defeats within this period as well, Barak Bakhar’s side face a tough trip to Bloomfield on Wednesday evening.
Not least as Maccabi Haifa suffered a 2-0 loss to Hapoel Tel Aviv in their previous recent visit to Bloomfield, losing 2-0.
The Betting Verdict
Hapoel Tel Aviv’s strong record at home should at least see the hosts avoid defeat here.
The Pick :
Hapoel Tel Aviv 1-0 Maccabi Haifa
