Head-to-head statistics Maccabi - Hapoel Jerusalem
Maccabi Tel-Aviv Team Overview
Maccabi Tel-Aviv come into the game on a two-game winning streak, but their last ten games have been inconsistent: four wins and six losses. Their win in the previous game could give them more confidence. They have averaged 103.25 points scored and 95 conceded this season, although over a longer stretch they have conceded more than they have scored. In their last ten games, their scoring average has fallen to 88.8 points, while their average points conceded has risen to 92.3. This suggests their defence is struggling to cope, while their offence has slowed compared with the start of the season. Maccabi Tel-Aviv can put together high-scoring stretches, but defensive inconsistency and dips in attack make it difficult for them to score consistently.

Match Results: Hapoel Jerusalem
First-quarter prediction
Hapoel Jerusalem have scored no more than 20 points in the first quarter in six consecutive away Super League games. They have averaged 16 points in the first quarter away from home this season, but Maccabi Tel-Aviv have conceded an average of 22.5 first-quarter points in their last ten home games. Taking that opposing figure into account, we pick Hapoel Jerusalem Team Total Points Under 20.5 in the first quarter at odds of 1.86*.
Outcome prediction
Hapoel Jerusalem have covered a +1.5 handicap in 11 consecutive games. They have also won their last ten games, including five away from home. The visitors go into the game against Maccabi in good form and have given their opponents no reason to doubt their ability so far. Even allowing for the Tel Aviv side's home-court advantage, there is reason to expect a close game. Our pick: Hapoel Jerusalem to win with a +1.5 handicap at 2.12*.
Total Points Prediction
Under 173.5 total points has landed in 15 consecutive Hapoel Jerusalem games. In five of the team's Super League games, the total was even below 166.5. However, in their last ten home games, Maccabi Tel-Aviv have averaged 93.67 points scored and 92.33 conceded, a strong argument against a low-scoring game. Nevertheless, we are backing Under 173.5 Total Points at odds of 1.7*.
Reliable bet
Hapoel Jerusalem have covered a (+8.5) handicap in ten consecutive Super League away games. They have also covered the tougher (+4.5) handicap in 13 of their last 14 league games. These figures show that the visitors rarely lose by a wide margin, even when they do not win. The larger positive handicap therefore provides an extra cushion if they have a poor game. We are backing Hapoel Jerusalem to win with a (+8.5) handicap at 1.47*.

β Editor's prediction
A moderately slow pace is expected in this game. Hapoel Jerusalem are capable of containing their opponents and preventing the game from speeding up, as reflected in their solid defence and a run of 15 straight games with fewer than 173.5 points. Maccabi Tel-Aviv have scored less in recent weeks, while their defence remains vulnerable, further reducing the potential for a high combined score. The visitors are on a strong run, controlling games confidently and consistently finishing below the total, while the hosts have been inconsistent in attack and concede more points than they score. All this points to a game in which neither team will push the pace and the number of points scored will remain limited. The pick is Under 172.5 Total Points.
