Maccabi Haifa vs Hapoel Ramat GanPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The Sammy Ofer Stadium hosts Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Ramat Gan, two clubs that have never met before. The home side closed their Toto Cup with two wins and three defeats, mixing a 4-2 over Ironi Tiberias and a 1-0 at Sakhnin with a 0-3 against Ironi Kiryat Shmona and a 0-1 at home to Hapoel Katamon; the only other recent result is a 2-0 friendly win at Kiryat Yam on 14 July. Hapoel Ramat Gan lost only once in their last six outings: 3-3 with Beitar Jerusalem, 2-2 with Hapoel Katamon, 3-2 at Netanya, 2-1 over Hapoel Petah Tikva and 2-1 against TSC Backa Topola, with the 1-2 at Petah Tikva the single blot. They found the net at least twice in five of those games. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off.

In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
