Maccabi Haifa enters this match as the clear favorite. Their recent form showcases impressive attacking prowess, highlighted by an 8-1 cup victory and consistent scoring in the league. While they did stumble recently, losing to Beitar Jerusalem, their overall performance is superior to Ashdod MS. Ashdod's recent form is less inspiring, with a mix of losses and draws against weaker opponents. Their defensive vulnerabilities suggest Maccabi Haifa will find opportunities. Considering Maccabi Haifa’s strong offensive capabilities and the odds favouring them, a win for the away team with a positive handicap seems highly probable. Expect a high-scoring match, given Maccabi Haifa's attacking strength and Ashdod MS's defensive struggles. The over/under on goals is also likely to be exceeded.
