About This Trend

Goal difference refers to the difference between the number of goals a team has scored and the number of goals it has conceded in a sports competition, often used as a tiebreaker in league standings.

The term is currently trending due to its pivotal role in the tight competition between Hapoel Be'er Sheva and Maccabi Tel Aviv at the top of the Israeli Premier League table, where the championship could be decided by goal difference rather than points. .
