Maccabi Kiryat Gat welcome Hapoel Afula on Friday, Mar 5 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 Kiryat Gat come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Hapoel Afula, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
Despite playing at home, Maccabi Kiryat Gat face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Hapoel Afula have won 4 of 6 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Maccabi Kiryat Gat won 1–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Maccabi Kiryat Gat a slight edge, but Hapoel Afula are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
