What to expect
We expect about 1.2 goals from Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona and 2.1 from Maccabi Haifa, so Maccabi Haifa come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.4 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
Our pick: Maccabi Haifa to win. Maccabi Haifa shade this one on the numbers (xG 1.2-2.1), and we make them about 56% to win. They look the better bet on the road, and backing them outright is the straightforward way in.
We put the chance of that landing at about 55 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.87, which works out at about 53 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
What the numbers say
✓Maccabi Haifa have won one of their last five.
