Hapoel Jerusalem: It is necessary to analyze the performance of the last 5-6 games in various competitions before the game, focusing on its offensive efficiency and defensive stability. As a mid-table or lower-tier team in the league, their games usually have a limited number of goals, defensive counter-attacks are the main tactics, and home record is the key to assessing whether they can limit strong opponents.

Maccabi Tel Aviv: As a traditional Israeli giant, it is necessary to examine its pre-match form, including league standings, offensive firepower and away performance. Despite its strength, if the schedule is dense or facing multi-front battles, the pace of the game may be more controllable than blindly attacking.

The past head-to-head records of the two teams show that Maccabi Tel Aviv has an absolute advantage in terms of strength and historical record. However, when it comes to the number of goals, detailed statistics are needed on the total number of goals scored in the last 5-10 direct conversations. Historical data may show that Maccabi's away game against Hapoel may not be fully open, and small score results have a certain frequency.

for "Under 3": The institution offers "Under 3 Goals" at 1.90 and "Over Over 3 Goals" at 1.75. The odds structure shows that the agency is slightly inclined to exceed 3 goals in the game (1.75 is lower), but the 1.90 odds of "under 3" are also in a very attractive range, indicating that there is a lot of uncertainty in the number of goals around 3 goals, which is closely related to the tactics and recent offensive and defensive performance of both sides.

Correlated odds: At the same time, the odds of an away win (Maccabi Tel Aviv win) are usually lower, which is in line with the strength positioning of both sides. The result of a small away win (such as 1-0 or 2-0) can meet both the conditions of "away win" and "less than 3 goals", which is one of the more probable results.

Taken together, the core contradiction of this game lies in the confrontation between the strong away team and the home team, which is mainly home defense. Prediction direction: The match is more likely to have under 3 total goals. Main logical supports: 1. The difference in strength may make the game show an offensive and defensive drill, and Maccabi controls the field but does not necessarily need to win by a big score; 2. Hapoel's home strategy must be to defend solidly, seek counterattacks, and take the initiative to reduce the pace of the game; 3. While the odds are slightly over-shot, the under-ball odds of 1.90 offer sufficient risk-reward to align with fundamental analysis. The most likely result is Maccabi Tel Aviv winning by one or two goals (e.g. 0-1, 0-2, 1-2) with a total of 2 goals or less.

Betting Although the analysis leans towards "under 3 goals", any bet is risky. Risk points to pay attention to include: 1. Maccabi's attacking group is in an explosive state, and scoring early may change the openness of the game; 2. If Hapoel concedes the first goal and is forced to press, it may lead to an increase in holes in the defense; 3. Accidental goals that may occur late in the game (e.g. penalties, own goals). It is recommended that investors make decisions based on final information such as on-the-spot lineups and weather, and always follow the principles of rational and quantitative fund management.
