Maccabi Haifa and Maccabi Bnei Reine will meet in the next match of the 20th round of the Israeli championship. Will the hosts return to the winning path?
Maccabi Haifa
In the last round, Maccabi Haifa was left without points, losing 0-3 to Maccabi Tel Aviv on the road. This defeat was the third in the current championship, and also interrupted the winning streak, which managed to include eleven matches, if we talk exclusively about the Super League. But the misfire did not affect the standings, Maccabi from Haifa still remains in the first position, only now it is ahead of Maccabi from Tel Aviv by five points.
Maccabi Bnei Reine
But the team from Bnei Reine is not fighting for anything serious, closing the standings after nineteen matches played. Now he has fifteen points on his account, and the same number was three rounds ago, in which there were defeats from "Kiryat Shmona" (0-1), "Ashdod" (0-3) and "Beitar" (0-2). If Maccabi Bnei-Reine creates a sensation and wins in the reporting game, then at best it will rise to the twelfth line.
Statistics and figures:
