Hapoel Tel Aviv vs Maccabi Herzliya

Expert Overview: Hapoel Tel Aviv vs Maccabi Herzliya

This match promises a tactical clash between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Herzliya, scheduled for May 12, 2025. With both teams displaying strong defensive records and less prolific attacking stats, the encounter is likely to be tightly contested. The low average goals scored (1.83) and conceded (0.67) indicate a balanced dynamic, favoring a conservative approach, especially in the second half. Bettors should expect a cautious opening and defensive discipline from both sides throughout the match.

Away Team To Score In 2nd Half: Odds 99.00

The extremely high odds suggest that the market sees very little chance for Maccabi Herzliya to score after halftime. This points to Hapoel Tel Aviv’s strong defensive performances in the latter stages of matches, an area in which they likely excel tactically or in terms of squad depth.

Home Team Not To Score In 2nd Half: Odds 99.00

Similarly, the expectation that Hapoel Tel Aviv will fail to score after the break is considered highly unlikely. If the home side typically presses their advantage later in games, their attacking players should remain a threat until the final whistle, making this a risky position for punters.

Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half: Odds 83.00

These odds indicate a very low likelihood of a goalless second half, reiterating that at least one team is expected to find the net after the interval. With both sides showing some attacking potential, defensive lapses late could be exploited.

Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half: Odds 83.00

The market is almost dismissing the possibility that the first half ends without a goal from at least one team. Early attacking bursts or defensive errors may decide the flow early on, despite both teams’ generally solid defense.

Both Teams Not to Score (Full Match): Odds 75.00

That both sides fail to score across 90 minutes is evaluated as highly improbable. With average total match goals set at 2.5, the teams should come away with at least one goal apiece, backing the narrative of attacking intent on both ends.

Last Goal Minute 0-72: Odds 67.00

These odds suggest that late drama beyond the 72nd minute is highly likely. Expect the possibility of decisive moments deep into the second half, with either side remaining dangerous in the last quarter-hour.

Away Team To Score In 1st Half: Odds 67.00

Herzliya finding the net before halftime is seen as unlikely, perhaps reflecting their conservative away tactics or Hapoel’s early defensive solidity. This could influence live betting dynamics if Herzliya starts strong.

Home Team To Score In 1st Half: Odds 67.00

The home side is also not expected to score early with confidence, pointing to a likely cagey opening phase where both teams prioritize keeping things tight.

Under 2.5 Goals: Odds 63.00

Odds for a low-scoring affair are long, but considering both teams’ average goals and defensive stats, a match with fewer than three goals seems plausible. Expect tactical discipline to keep the scoreline modest.

Additional Predictions

• Draw at halftime appears probable, given both teams’ tendency for defensive conservatism early in matches.
• Potential for a goalless first half, with action and possible goals likely coming in the latter stages.
• If there is a winner, a narrow margin such as 1-0 or 2-1 is most likely.
• Late substitutions and tactical adjustments could play a crucial role in determining the final outcome.
