Do not move from home: the streak of Maccabi Haifa's home victories, and the record within reach
Precisely in the year of Corona and when the fans stay at home, Maccabi Haifa has turned the municipal stadium into a fortress, can compare an achievement from the greatest season in its history and is also approaching the peak of the club.
The danger?
The last time the record slipped, the championship slipped through her fingers as well

The Corona period took the fans off the pitches and thus also outlined the common sporting term "home advantage".
The major leagues in Europe see a significant increase in the number of foreign victories, and Israeli football is no different.
Only the top three in the Premier League reach the 24th round with more wins than home losses.
And of them, only one is still invincible as a host.
Precisely in a season like this, when the noise of tens of thousands of fans is replaced by a silent silence that is periodically violated by the shouts of the bench members, Maccabi Haifa has finally managed to turn the municipal stadium into a fortress.
For the first time since joining him in September 2014, the Greens have made a streak of more than five wins and are now already challenging the club record.
A good time to remember the previous record, the current record and what happened the last time they tried to break it.

To the full article
The memorable achievement: 10 consecutive victories in 1993/94

Sequence:
The biggest season in the history of Maccabi Haifa began with a run of 10 home victories (not including the 1: 4 in the derby at the end of the 1992/93 season).
The Greens then handed out fourths, fifths and even sixths in a lossless season, with this winning streak standing at 6:33.
Interrupting: The
one who stopped the continuum in February 1994 was the bottom team of Hapoel Kfar Saba, which won 0: 0 in Kiryat Eliezer with Giora Antman between the posts.
Maccabi Haifa then extended the streak of games without a loss into the next season, until Ashdod won 2: 3 in Kiryat Eliezer and stopped it for 26 games.
Bottom line:
Championship.
Maccabi Haifa then finished without a loss and won the title with record points and goals, a gap of seven points from Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The record: 11 consecutive wins in 2005/06

Sequence:
Roni Levy was a Maccabi Haifa midfielder during that magical season, and 12 years later he broke the record as a coach.
This was his third championship, and it started with a brilliant streak of 11 home wins (or 12, if you add the win at the end of the previous season) during which the goal difference was 5:26.
Interrupting:
Even in this case, the one who put an end to the sequence was Hapoel Kfar Saba.
This time she was even deep in last place, but that did not stop her from extracting 1: 1 in Kiryat Eliezer with a dramatic equalizer by substitute Oren Nissim in extra time, after a great play by Avi Ivgi between the posts.
Bottom line:
Championship.
Maccabi Haifa ended the season with one home loss and left the plate in Carmel, when it was 16 points ahead of Hapoel Tel Aviv.

Sequence:
Again it started right at the start of the season.
Simultaneously with the Champions League campaign, in which it hosted the Ramat Gan stadium and was left without points or goals, Maccabi Haifa won all of its first nine home games in the league (goal difference 4:21) and opened a significant gap at the top.
Interrupt:
Hapoel Tel Aviv arrived in Kiryat Eliezer in January 2010 lagging behind the leader by 10 points, and without goalkeeper Vincent Anime who was with Nigeria at the African Championships.
Despite this, his replacement Neil Abarbanel faced only one threat and the top game ended in a 0-0 draw that caused Maccabi Haifa to lose first points at home.
Bottom line:
no championship.
Cheerleader for the offset method, Hapoel Tel Aviv returned to Kiryat Eliezer in April in the playoffs, removed the curse with a goal from Mahran Lala and also stopped Maccabi Haifa for a club record of 28 home games without a loss.
Three weeks later, Eran Zehavi arrived at Teddy and Ren Kadosh in Bloomfield and painted the plate red.
And what will happen in 2020/21?

This time the sequence did not start from the first game.
Although Maccabi Haifa started the home season with 1: 3 over Hapoel Beer Sheva, it then lost a 0: 2 advantage and finished 2: 2 against Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Since then, she has only won as a host.
The streak now stands at nine wins, and is in any case the longest for the Greens since entering the stadium.
Barak Bachar has already achieved a streak of 10 home victories as Hapoel Beer Sheva coach, when it was part of a league record of 51 games without a loss at Turner (from the moment he entered the stadium in September 2015 until the loss to Maccabi Tel Aviv in the third coronation in May 2018).
Maccabi Petah Tikva tonight (Saturday, 19:50, Sport1) and Maccabi Netanya in the final round of the regular season, are the two that stand between the Greens and the comparison of the club record.
Will it even break, or will the 2009/10 nightmare script actually appear in an updated edition?
