Let’s dive into the stats, predictions, and betting insights.

Maccabi Tel Aviv’s Dominance at Home
Maccabi Tel Aviv enters this fixture as the clear favorite, and for good reason. Their squad is valued at a hefty €23.95m, significantly overshadowing Hapoel Haifa’s €6.90m. The last head-to-head encounter on March 8 saw Maccabi Tel Aviv secure a comfortable 2-0 victory, reinforcing their superiority.

Statistically, home teams in Ligat Ha’al win 38.7% of the time, and with Maccabi Tel Aviv’s expected 61% possession, they should dictate the tempo. Our AI-powered prediction gives the home win a trust rating of 7.0/10, with odds of 1.4.

Hapoel Haifa’s Slim Hopes
Hapoel Haifa, despite their underdog status, has shown they can pull off surprises—like their 1-1 draw against Maccabi Haifa on February 10, where they were priced at 7.1 to win. However, their chances here remain slim. They are expected to have just 39% possession and manage only 6 shots, with a mere 1 shot on target.

Goals, Shots & Corners Predictions
Expect an offensive display from Maccabi Tel Aviv, who are predicted to fire 17 shots, with 7 on target. Hapoel Haifa, on the other hand, might struggle to test the opposition goalkeeper.

The over/under market suggests a decent probability of goals, with over 2.5 goals given a trust level of 3.3 and odds of 1.6. The predicted final score? A commanding 3-0 win for Maccabi Tel Aviv, with a likely 1-0 lead at halftime.

Corners are expected to total 8, with Maccabi Tel Aviv taking 6 and Hapoel Haifa earning 2. Yellow cards? A relatively clean game, with 2 bookings for the hosts and 1 for the visitors.

Best Bet & Final Thoughts
The safest bet here is a straightforward Maccabi Tel Aviv win at odds of 1.4, backed by a solid trust rating of 7.0/10. For those seeking higher returns, the over 2.5 goals market at 1.6 could be worth considering, though with a lower confidence level.

With Maccabi Tel Aviv’s firepower and Hapoel Haifa’s struggles in front of goal, this match looks set to be a one-sided affair. Can the underdogs defy the odds? Unlikely. But in football, anything can happen—just don’t bet your rent money on it!
