Statistics and match prediction
The first-round encounter between these clubs ended with a confident 4:1 victory for Maccabi, with Ashdod scoring a consolation goal in injury time. The outsider is playing against the leader, so the odds are accordingly high. The capital club only needs to gain three points, there is no need to achieve a landslide victory; there is still a long tournament distance ahead. We expect not the most interesting match, so we bet on a total of fewer than 3 goals. It is also possible to consider the success of the guests with a slight handicap, but the risk is higher, with a lower coefficient.
