Maccabi Tel Aviv come into this match in stronger overall shape and with a more reliable recent profile. They are unbeaten in their last 5 games – 4 wins and 1 draw – scoring 13 goals and conceding only 4. That works out to 2.6 goals scored per game and just 0.8 conceded, which points to a side that is efficient in attack and also well organized without the ball. Beitar Jerusalem also arrive in decent condition: 4 wins and 1 loss in their last 5 matches, with 10 goals scored and 5 conceded. Still, the 0-3 defeat in their latest outing suggests they can lose control when facing a more structured opponent.
The head-to-head record also leans toward a competitive but slightly favorable scenario for the visitors. In the last 5 meetings, Maccabi Tel Aviv have won 3, drawn 1, and lost only once against Beitar Jerusalem. These games have often been lively, but the more important detail here is Maccabi Tel Aviv’s steadier level of performance. They manage matches better, make fewer defensive mistakes, and look more dependable late on. Beitar Jerusalem can certainly make life difficult at home and may even find the net, but the balance of current form still sits with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
For that reason, the safest and most logical option is the away side with draw protection. Away Draw No Bet – recommended bet on Maccabi Tel Aviv with DNB at 1.62
