Beitar Jerusalem
The championship didn't start well for Beitar, as the federation deducted 4 points from the club. Taking this punishment into account, the team currently occupies the 11th position in the standings. In the last round, there was a disappointing away defeat to Hapoel Haifa, leading 2:0 at halftime but eventually losing 2:3, conceding the decisive goal in the 90+10th minute from a penalty. Beitar has been unbeaten in their last four home matches, accumulating 8 points during this period.
MS Ashdod
Ashdod finds itself in a difficult situation as the worst team in the championship, gathering only 9 points in 14 rounds. In their last match, the club suffered a 1:4 defeat at home against the league leader Maccabi Tel Aviv. This loss marked their fifth consecutive defeat in the championship, indicating that Ashdod is clearly not in the best form. It's worth noting that the team has not secured a victory in away matches this season, recording four losses and two draws.
Statistics and Match prediction
We are expecting a clash with not the most high-profile matchup, as the opponents come from the lower half of the league table. In the first round, Beitar secured an away victory with a score of 2:1 in a head-to-head encounter, with Myron George from Costa Rica scoring a brace, making that match his best in the championship. We agree that the hosts are favored, given Ashdod's evident crisis. Our bet is on Beitar's clean victory.
