Betting Predictions
Over 1.5 Goals: 85.10
This prediction indicates a strong likelihood that the match will see at least two goals scored. Given Maccabi Herzliya’s offensive strategies and Hapoel Afula’s occasional lapses in defense, it is reasonable to anticipate an open game with opportunities for both teams to find the back of the net. Bettors might consider this market if they expect an entertaining match with multiple goals.
Under 2.5 Goals: 62.50
The under 2.5 goals market suggests a more conservative outcome with fewer than three goals likely to be scored during the match. This could be due to both teams’ focus on defensive solidity and tactical discipline. If either team manages to keep a clean sheet or restricts the opposition’s scoring chances effectively, this prediction could materialize.
Both Teams Not to Score: 62.60
This betting option reflects the possibility that neither team will score a goal during the match. Given Hapoel Afula’s strong defensive record and Maccabi Herzliya’s potential to play cautiously, there is a fair chance that the match could end goalless or with one team securing a narrow victory without conceding any goals.
