- The team has secured 15 of 18 possible points, placing them second in the league.
- Their recent 4-1 win against Hapoel Jerusalem was their fourth consecutive victory.

Maccabi Haifa has achieved its strongest offensive start to a season in over a decade, scoring 16 goals in their first six matches, a feat not seen since the 1998-99 season. This remarkable scoring rate, combined with accumulating 15 out of a possible 18 points, places the team second in the league, just one point behind leaders Maccabi Tel Aviv. The team's recent 4-1 victory over Hapoel Jerusalem on Monday marked their fourth consecutive win.
This impressive performance, particularly in attack, contrasts with some defensive struggles earlier in the season. However, the 16 goals scored in the initial six games represent the highest tally for the club in the 2000s. The team's current points total of 15 is matched only by their championship season of 2022-23 under Barak Bakhar, and is surpassed only by the 2009-10 season under Elisha Levy, when they achieved a perfect 18 points from six games.
Despite the strong start, Maccabi Haifa suffered their only significant loss of the season so far, a 3-1 defeat to Maccabi Tel Aviv. The team faces a challenging schedule starting from the eighth round, with upcoming matches against Hapoel Be'er Sheva, Hapoel Tel Aviv, Maccabi Netanya, Bnei Sakhnin, Beitar Jerusalem, and Hapoel Haifa.
