Christmas Eve also provides us with a few fixtures to look at in the Israeli top flight with Bnei Yehuda taking on Maccabi Tel Aviv as the betting tips continue at the HaMoshava Stadium.
Bnei Yehuda Prediction – Can Bnei Yehuda turn things around?
8th placed Bnei Yehuda look to have their work cut out ahead of this Christmas Eve clash against Maccabi Tel Aviv at their HaMoshava Stadium as the hosts have gone 3 league matches without a win in the Israeli top flight.
A disappointing 1-1 draw at home with lowly Hapoel Ra’anana was followed by recent back-to-back defeats to Hapoel Haifa 3-0 and a 2-1 loss to Ironi Kiryat, both of which were away from home, not that results at home have been anything to write home about for Bnei Yehuda.
The hosts possess an overall home record of 2-2-2 5/5 and includes just 1 win out of their last 5 matches on home soil, which was a 2-0 win over 10th placed Ashdod, but recent losses incurred against Hapoel Kfar and Beitar Jerusalem suggest that this could be a long evening when they host Ligat Ha’al leaders, Maccabi Tel Aviv.
In addition, Maccabi Tel Aviv have won 6 of the last 9 meetings against Bnei Yehuda so the prospects for a home win here look very slim.
Maccabi Tel Aviv Prediction – Can Maccabi Tel Aviv keep rolling?
In stark contrast to their Tuesday night’s hosts, Ligat Ha’al league leaders, Maccabi Tel Aviv, are still unbeaten so far in this Israeli top flight campaign, having won 10 of their 14 matches played to date this term and drawing the other 4.
The visitors sit top of the domestic top flight and hold a 3-point lead over 2nd placed Maccabi Haifa ahead of these midweek fixtures, but their lead could be extended to 6 points if they take all three points at Bnei Yehuda and Maccabi Haifa lose to local rivals Hapoel Haifa.
Interestingly, all of the four draws have been recorded on home turf at their Winner Stadium while away from home, Maccabi Tel Aviv have produced excellent form as their away record of 7-0-0 14/0 indicates, possessing a 100% winning record on their travels and keeping clean sheets in each of their away matches this season.
In addition, the bigger picture shows that Maccabi Tel Aviv are unbeaten in their last 28 matches away from home in Ligat Ha’al which is some record indeed.
