Premier League Israel

Our prediction for the match: Maccabi Netanya vs Beitar
The club from Netanya finished sixth last season, both in the regular stage and in the "championship" group. Currently, they are performing at about the same level, although they have lost nearly half of their matches—especially since the end of November. However, they managed a resounding 4-0 win over Bnei Reineh.
The team from Jerusalem ended the spring with 53 points and finished fourth. That was enough to qualify for the Conference League qualifiers. After defeating Sutjeska, they then lost to Riga. However, by focusing on the domestic league, they kept pace with Maccabi Tel Aviv. Only at the end of January did they slow down, drawing with Ashdod, Hapoel Haifa, and Maccabi, and even losing to Be'er Sheva.
The hosts play entertaining football: they score 1.74 goals on average, but also concede 1.96. The title contender's stats are impressive: 2.09 goals scored per game and 1.09 conceded.
