Having played the same number of rounds, Ashdod could not make much progress in the standings. The club has 17 points, occupies the 9th position in the tournament ranking, and is only one point behind the coveted playoff zone. In the previous round, the Dolphins hosted Hapoel Tel Aviv and lost 1-4.
Let us recall that the teams played their last head-to-head match on the pitch of Ashdod three months ago. That game ended with the expected defeat for the Dolphins, who lost with a two-goal handicap (1-3). Half a year before that event, the teams crossed paths at the stadium of Hapoel Haifa, and the fans unexpectedly saw a draw (2-2). I think that the Sharks have a cool opportunity to earn three tournament points in the upcoming game and thereby become even more independent in the ranking. Judging by the last matches, Ashdod is probably out of shape. The team lost two matches in a row, and this unsuccessful streak is likely to continue.
Prediction for the match: Hapoel Haifa to win
