Maccabi Haifa without a win in its last seven games in all competitions, for the first time since November-December 2017. Bnei Sakhnin is the draw queen of the league with 13 undecided games, nine of which ended in 1:1.
Maccabi Tel Aviv on the verge of their longest unbeaten streak since 1987, the Reds are 34 minutes away from their longest drought in their history. Hapoel Beer Sheva is without a single victory in the last 16 rounds, since the 1:4 home win over Petah Tikva in the 16th round of last season's league. Salim Tuema has scored in his last 12 games, when Salim Salim scored with a free kick, so that the streak stands at 12 games. The negative club record was set about three years ago with 677 minutes without a goal, so it can be broken in the 35th minute of the game. The last goal of Alan Ozhbolt, last in a 643-minute drought of 643 minutes since the last game of the last season, was scored in the first half.
