Match Preview
Hapoel Petah Tikva will host Hapoel Jerusalem at HaMoshava Stadium on Saturday, 18 October, in what promises to be an intriguing Ligat ha'Al clash. Petah Tikva comes into the match with a mixed bag of form, registering two wins and three losses in their last five outings. In contrast, Hapoel Jerusalem has been more consistent, with three wins, one draw, and one loss in their recent matches. This difference in form could give Jerusalem a psychological edge as they look to extend their positive run.
Historically, the head-to-head record leans slightly in favour of Hapoel Petah Tikva, who have won three of the last ten encounters, but Jerusalem's recent form suggests they could challenge this trend. With both teams having shown the ability to score, the match could see goals at both ends. Given the stakes and the competitive nature of the fixture, expect a closely contested game that could hinge on individual moments of brilliance.
