Duel between PFC Neftchi vs Hapoel Tel Aviv is shaping to be one of those spectacles where form flies out the window. Underway
PFC Neftchi’s been erratic, their showings swinging from brilliant to head-scratching. Meanwhile, Hapoel Tel Aviv’s fighting through a tough stretch, their rearguard looking unstable.
Digging into past meetings, it’s a toss-up. PFC Neftchi’s taken the upper hand lately, but the game’s got a nonexistent memory.
My two cents: Both sides’ve got holes. PFC Neftchi’s engine room’s stuttering, while Hapoel Tel Aviv’s forwards craves a spark.
