💡 Prediction

In our opinion, Hapoel Petah Tikva have the ability to breach the defence of this Maccabi Tel Aviv team, although one goal is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re therefore expecting a narrow 1-2 victory for Maccabi Tel Aviv at the end of the 90 minutes. Could easily go either way, this.
