Sabah FA v Hapoel Beer Sheva prediction

SASabah FAWWWLL
v
HAHapoel Beer ShevaDLWLW

What to expect

We expect about 1.4 goals from Sabah FA and 0.9 from Hapoel Beer Sheva, so Sabah FA come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.3 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: Sabah FA to win. Sabah FA are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.4-0.9), and we make them about 54% 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 54 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.71, which works out at about 58 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
Sabah FA have won three of their last five.
Hapoel Beer Sheva have won two of their last five.

One thing to watch

Favourites drop points more often than a short price suggests, and one moment can earn Hapoel Beer Sheva a draw or better. The price is shorter than our own read of about 54%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.
