Hapoel Beer Sheva v Sabah FA prediction

What to expect

We expect about 1.2 goals from Hapoel Beer Sheva and 1.0 from Sabah FA, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.2 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Sabah FA come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Hapoel Beer Sheva to win. Hapoel Beer Sheva are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.2-1.0), and we make them about 38% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.

We put the chance of that landing at about 38 out of 100. The price on offer is 2.39, which works out at about 42 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
Hapoel Beer Sheva have won two of their last five.
Sabah FA have won three of their last five.

One thing to watch

Favourites drop points more often than a short price suggests, and one moment can earn Sabah FA a draw or better. The price is shorter than our own read of about 38%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.
