Hapoel Afula welcome Maccabi Ahi Nazareth on Friday, Dec 18 at 6:00 PM in a Liga Leumit fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Hapoel Afula come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Maccabi Ahi Nazareth travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours Hapoel Afula here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Maccabi Ahi Nazareth, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Maccabi Ahi Nazareth won 0–1.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Hapoel Afula a slight edge, but Maccabi Ahi Nazareth are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
