Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Netanya Prediction: Another blockbuster fixture

Maccabi Tel Aviv and Netanya will lock horns in the round 9 match of the Israel Premier League. Check the teams’ conditions and our expert betting tips in the following paragraphs.

Maccabi Tel Aviv - a win is needed to remain top of the league

Maccabi Tel Aviv will attempt to capitalize on their recent success of claiming back-to-back victories. Maor Kandil scored the game-winning goal for the home team in the 87th minute of their match against Sakhnin the week before. During that match, two goals scored by Sakhnin for Maccabi Tel Aviv were disallowed because they were scored offside. The result was a stroke of luck for the home side. We anticipate that the side playing at home will have a successful match and make strides in their defensive performance while maintaining match control.

Netanya - winless streak needs to be stopped

Netanya has not registered a win in their last seven straight matches. The result of three of their most recent six matches was a tie. Netanya is now ranked eleventh in the league table, as they have only six points from eight matches. During the current season, Netanya has let up a total of 12 goals while only scoring seven. The first half of Netanya's most recent encounter against Hapoel Jerusalem ended in a 0-2 home loss. However, their hopes of salvaging a point were dashed when Cedric scored two goals in the final minutes of the second half.

Expert Betting Tip

Previous matches between these teams have been tough. In the last five matches, Maccabi Tel Aviv has just one win, while Netanya also has one. Three other matches ended in draws for both sides. In this match, we are expecting a very tough match again from these sides. Bet on over 2.5 goals.
