Hapoel Jerusalem come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Maccabi Petach Tikva travel in mixed form (2W 0D 3L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Hapoel Jerusalem won their last outing, while Maccabi Petach Tikva suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
In 10 previous meetings, Hapoel Jerusalem lead 5–3 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Maccabi Petach Tikva won 2–4. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.
