Maccabi Tel AvivDrawHapoel Le Zion
Maccabi Tel Aviv host Hapoel Le Zion in Division 1 on 30 October 2026, a match that pits the sixth-placed hosts against the second-placed visitors. Maccabi sit on 5 points from 5 games, while Hapoel arrive with 10 points from 6 matches—a significant gap that reflects their contrasting seasons so far.
Team form
Maccabi Tel Aviv
Maccabi have been inconsistent. They drew 29-29 away at Bnei Herzliya last time out, a result that extended their mixed run. Before that, they beat Maccabi Avishai Motzkin 36-31 at home and won 30-27 away at Ramat Hasharon, but losses to MK Holon (30-37) and Hapoel Ashdod (27-32) show they struggle against stronger sides. Over their last five games, they have scored 30.4 goals per game but conceded 31.2—a narrow deficit that suggests their defence remains vulnerable. They need to tighten up if they are to compete at this level.
Hapoel Le Zion
Hapoel Le Zion have been the standout performers. They won four of their last five matches, including a 45-33 demolition of MK Beer Sheva and a 37-26 victory away at Rehovot. Their only setback came against Maccabi Le Zion (27-32), but they bounced back immediately with a 36-31 home win over Hapoel Ashdod. Across these five games, Hapoel averaged 35.8 goals scored and conceded just 30.4—a commanding offensive output paired with solid defensive discipline. They are the form team and carry genuine momentum into this fixture.
Head-to-head
No previous meetings between these sides are on record, so there is no historical pattern to draw on. Both teams will approach this as a fresh contest.
Key factors
The gap in recent form is stark. Hapoel have won five of six league games and score freely; Maccabi have won only two of five and leak goals regularly. Hapoel's attacking potency—35.8 per game—will test a Maccabi defence that has conceded 31.2 per game. Conversely, Maccabi will need to press early and limit Hapoel's space in transition. The outcome will likely hinge on whether Maccabi's defence can hold firm or whether Hapoel's attack overwhelms them.
Prediction
Hapoel Le Zion are the favourite. Their superior league position, five wins in six games, and attacking average of 35.8 goals per game all point to a visiting victory. Maccabi, despite playing at home, have won only two of their last five and concede more than they score over that span. Both teams are capable of putting the ball in the net, but Hapoel's form and firepower give them the edge.
Hapoel Le Zion are favoured to win. The visitors arrive in excellent form and possess the attacking quality to trouble Maccabi's leaky defence. A narrow away victory is the most likely outcome, though Maccabi's home status means they retain a genuine chance if they can impose themselves early and disrupt Hapoel's rhythm.
