Match Preview
Maccabi Tel Aviv will host Maccabi Netanya at Bloomfield Stadium on Saturday, 30 August, in a Ligat ha'Al clash that promises to be intriguing. Maccabi Tel Aviv enters the match in solid form, having secured three wins in their last five outings, while Maccabi Netanya has struggled, managing just one victory in the same period. Historically, Tel Aviv has dominated this fixture, winning six of the last ten encounters, which could give them a psychological edge going into this match.
One key angle to consider is the attacking prowess of both teams, as their recent head-to-heads have frequently featured goals. Eight of the last ten meetings have seen over 2.5 goals scored, and both teams have found the net in seven of those matches. With Maccabi Tel Aviv's strong home advantage and Netanya's inconsistent form, the expectation is for a high-scoring affair, making the over 2.5 goals market a compelling option for this matchup.
