Preview: a tactical scrap at Acre Municipal Stadium
The Liga Leumit returns to Acre Municipal Stadium this Monday with a compelling clash between Hapoel Acre and Hapoel Kfar Saba. The fixture on 15/12/2025 pits an organized, draw-prone Hapoel Acre side against a confident and efficient Hapoel Kfar Saba outfit that sits comfortably in third place. Acre’s season has been defined by stalemates — eight draws from 14 matches — and a stubborn defensive record that has seen them concede 17 goals while also scoring 17. Their recent home returns show six goals scored at home and six conceded, outlining a tendency toward low-scoring, tight affairs rather than open, end-to-end matches.
Hapoel Kfar Saba arrive with momentum. Sitting third with 25 points from 14 outings and boasting seven wins, they have been the sharper team in attack and defense combined. Their totals — 17 goals scored and 13 conceded — underline balance. Away from home Kfar Saba have been resolute, with nine away goals and just six conceded, and an eye-catching six clean sheets on the season. The visitors’ latest run features more wins than losses and a capacity to close out matches, making them dangerous on the counter and effective in preserving leads.
Tactical storyline and recent form
Recent form tilts in favor of Kfar Saba: while Acre’s last five results include a mixed bag of draws and narrow results, Hapoel Kfar Saba have strung together multiple victories and have not been prone to collapse. The head-to-head adds another layer of caution for both sides; their last meeting finished 1-1 in March 2025, and that parity speaks to a contest likely decided by fine margins. Acre’s tendency to settle for draws — evidenced by their 8 draws and the specific sequence of results in their latest report — suggests they will aim to keep this match compact and difficult to break down.
From a statistical standpoint, the signs point to a low-scoring duel. Over/under metrics for each club show modest over-2.5 percentages (Acre around 43% and Kfar Saba around 29%), and the visitors’ six clean sheets indicate a capacity to restrict the opposition. Shot statistics reveal Kfar Saba as the more aggressive side, but Acre’s home defenses and habit of grinding out results mean the goals may be scarce.
Betting suggestion
Considering the balance of form, defensive solidity and the low-scoring tendencies reflected in the data, the recommended market is the goal market: back Under 2.5 goals. This selection leans on Kfar Saba’s clean-sheet record and Acre’s propensity for draws and tight scorelines.
