Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Hapoel Petah Tikva Prediction & Betting Tips (15 December)

Double title holder, Maccabi Tel Aviv presents itself today with a delay of Hapoel Beer Sheva, who, in the event of success over the weekend, could have taken off 8 lengths. Tel Aviv can blame themselves for this, as they simply missed the opportunity to get closer to the lead by losing to Hapoel Be'er Sheva themselves on the previous day 1-0. Worse still, he has only won one of his last four matches in the Israeli elite, making it difficult to keep up with the frantic pace of the competition. Let's note as a bonus the setback against the current runner-up in the elite, Beitar Jerusalem 2-6, two defeats against the highest ranked. Last Thursday, the Israelis traveled to Germany to challenge Stuttgart in the Europa League, results to come.

For their part, Hapoel Petah Tikva is fighting to get back close to the top 6 in order to participate in the final phase of the championship. The task promises to be difficult for the visiting team, especially since they have not raised their arms to the sky to celebrate a success since 09/20. Clearly, by losing on the lawn of Hapoel Tel Aviv during the previous day 4-0, Petah Tikva accumulated a ninth match without a win in the championship 3 defeats, 6 draws. 

Suspended for the game against Hapoel Beer Sheva, midfielder Ido Shahar (6 goals, 1 assist in the league), would once again be eligible for his coach. On the other hand, on the bad news side, leading striker Nicolaescu (Romanian international, 2 goals in the league) left prematurely due to injury against the leader and could withdraw as was the case in the Europa League. In the infirmary, he found Belic (ex-Alkmaar), midfielder Issouf Sissokho and local international Denny Gropper. His compatriots Dor Peretz (7 goals, 1 assist in the championship) and Itamar Noy (2 pawns) will be operational.

 Opposite, the young Zambian talent Chipyoka Songa (5 goals, 1 assist) will be suspended following his exclusion at the end of the match on the previous day. Defenders Idan Cohen and Dror Nir are injured. Substitute in the last two league games, James Adeniyi (3 goals) will still be available to his coach like the Ivorian Jocelin Ta Bi (2 goals, 2 goals).
