Hapoel AradDrawHapoel Ashdod
Hapoel Arad hosts Hapoel Ashdod in a Division 1 clash on 13 November 2026, with the visitors holding a slight edge in the standings. Ashdod sit fourth with 8 points from seven games, while Arad are eighth with 6 points from six matches. Both sides have shown inconsistency this season, but recent form suggests the away team carries momentum into this encounter.
Team form
Hapoel Arad
Hapoel Arad have won two of their last five games but remain vulnerable defensively. They beat MK Beer Sheva 30-28 away and Rehovot 30-26 away, but suffered heavy defeats to Maccabi Le Zion (27-38 at home) and Hapoel Kiriyat (30-31 at home). Over their last five matches, Arad averaged 29.6 goals scored and 30.4 conceded—a narrow margin that reflects their struggle to control games. They will need tighter defensive discipline if they are to trouble Ashdod.
Hapoel Ashdod
Hapoel Ashdod have been more prolific in recent weeks, averaging 33.8 goals per game over their last five outings compared to Arad's 29.6. They recorded an impressive 42-26 victory over Nes Tziona at home and beat Bnei Herzliya 37-35, showing they can score heavily. However, losses to Hapoel Le Zion (31-36) and Maccabi Avishai Motzkin (26-29) reveal they too are prone to lapses. Defensively, Ashdod have been tighter, conceding just 30.2 per game on average, which is a strength heading into this fixture.
Head-to-head
There is no head-to-head record between these sides in the available data, so this match will be decided on current form and tactical execution rather than historical patterns.
Key factors
Ashdod's superior scoring rate—3.8 goals per game more than Arad over the last five matches—gives them a clear attacking advantage. Arad's defensive frailty, conceding 30.4 per game, is a concern against an opponent averaging over 33 goals. Conversely, Arad's home advantage should not be discounted; they have won two of their last three at home. The match is likely to be close and competitive, with both teams capable of reaching 30+ goals. Ashdod's consistency in defence and their higher output make them the marginally more likely winners, but Arad will back themselves to compete in front of their own crowd.
Prediction
Ashdod hold a narrow edge based on their superior recent form, higher scoring average, and better defensive record. While Arad are capable of matching their opponents' intensity, Ashdod's attacking prowess and defensive solidity give them the marginal advantage. The expected output suggests a tight, high-scoring encounter in which both sides will likely exceed 30 goals, but Ashdod are positioned to edge it.
Hapoel Ashdod are slight favourites to take the points in what should be a close, entertaining contest. Expect a high-scoring affair with both teams finding the net regularly, but Ashdod's recent form and defensive discipline make them marginally more likely to prevail.
