Home Team To Score In 1st Half

With a remarkable index of 99.00, the model signals substantial value for Hapoel Petah Tikva finding the net before the halftime whistle. The team’s offensive track record at home, coupled with their average 2 goals scored per game, previews an aggressive early approach. This scenario is reinforced by the home advantage and the tendency for the hosts’ attack to be more productive in the opening stages.

Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half

At 83.00, the prediction emphasizes a likely clean sheet for either team before halftime. Defensive solidity from both sides—reflected in their low goals-conceded averages—suggests that one team will struggle to break through in the first 45 minutes, likely resulting in a cautious, closely contested opening period with minimal scoring opportunities.

Mirroring the first half, there is an equally high probability (83.00) that after halftime, at least one side will again fail to find the net. Given the defensive strength of both teams, and the potential for tactical adjustments to favor preservation of a result, goals could remain scarce following the interval.

Home Team To Win

Hapoel Petah Tikva’s chances of securing a win stand at 67.00, underlining their slightly superior overall quality and home field presence. Their average goal-scoring capability, merged with the defensive issues faced by the visitors, means they are rightful favorites to clinch the points in this fixture.

Away Team To Score In 1st Half

The away side’s opportunity to get on the scoreboard before halftime also stands at 67.00. While not favored, this scenario cannot be excluded; Hapoel Rishon LeZion may look to exploit transitional moments and any aggressive play from the hosts in the early phases, attempting to capitalize on counter-attacks.

With an indicator of 67.00, the analysis leans toward Hapoel Rishon LeZion failing to score after halftime—potentially a product of strategic defensive play by Hapoel Petah Tikva in protecting leads or game states, as well as a dip in the visitors’ attacking threat as the match progresses.

Home Team Not To Score In 2nd Half

Identically priced at 67.00, this scenario envisions Hapoel Petah Tikva either consolidating an early advantage or encountering greater resistance from their opponents’ defense later in the match, resulting in goal drought for the hosts beyond halftime.

Both Teams Not to Score

With a projected value of 63.00, combined offensive and defensive trends lean toward at least one side failing to score entirely. The overall defensive quality and the conservative tendencies for both teams further reinforce the likelihood of the match falling short of a mutual exchange of goals.

Under 2.5 Goals

Another 63.00 forecast for fewer than three goals aligns with all other defensive-focused predictions. Despite a moderate average of 2.83 total goals in previous encounters, this particular fixture’s context suggests pragmatic approaches by both sides, potentially keeping the scoreline tight.

Over 1.5 Goals

The likelihood of at least two goals being scored (also set at 63.00) is statistically viable given both teams’ averages, yet the balance between defense and attack should be considered. Cautiously optimistic, this prediction points to enough offensive quality to expect at least some scoring activity.
