Maccabi Kabilio Jaffa welcome Hapoel Afula on Friday, Jan 8 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.
Maccabi Kabilio Jaffa come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 3L). Hapoel Afula travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours Maccabi Kabilio Jaffa here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Hapoel Afula, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Hapoel Afula won 0–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Maccabi Kabilio Jaffa a slight edge, but Hapoel Afula are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
