Ashdod MS, currently ranked 9th in the Israel Premier League, has a record of 4 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses in 15 matches, scoring 22 goals and conceding 28. Their recent form includes 2 losses and 3 draws in their last 5 games. Their home attack is moderate, averaging 1.47 goals per game, and their defence is vulnerable, conceding an average of 1.87 goals per home match. Maccabi Haifa sits in 6th place, with a record of 6 wins, 6 draws, and 3 losses from 15 games, scoring 25 goals and conceding 18. They have performed well recently, with 4 wins and 2 draws in their last 6 matches. Maccabi Haifa's away form is stable, showing a balanced attack and defence. In their last 5 encounters, Maccabi Haifa has dominated, with 4 wins and 1 loss. They convincingly defeated Ashdod MS 5-1 in the first round of this season, giving them a significant psychological advantage, especially when playing away. Maccabi Haifa's Jovanovic and Haziza are key offensive players, enhancing their away pressure. In contrast, Ashdod MS's key player, Mohammed Kanaan, is experiencing a goal drought, impacting the team's finishing abilities. The prediction leans towards an away win, with a higher possibility of a high-scoring match. Ashdod MS has lost their last two matches without scoring, indicating an offensive slump. Maccabi Haifa has a solid away defence, allowing only 1 goal per game on average, and they are skilled in controlling the game tempo and executing counter-attacks effectively. If Maccabi Haifa scores first, it will be very difficult for Ashdod MS to turn the match around. However, there is a possibility of Ashdod MS drawing at home, with a scoreline of 1-1 to be considered. Recommended bet: Maccabi Haifa -0.75 Score predictions: 1:2, 1:3
