Maccabi Petah Tikva vs Hapoel Umm al-Fahm tips and predictions

Big test for Hapoel Umm al-Fahm

The Maccabi Petah Tikva price is just too short so they cannot be recommended. Hapoel Umm al-Fahm could be drubbed here but there is no value in backing the home win.

Maccabi Petah Tikva aren't making life easy having lost 7 of their last 16 games as hosts. To add to their woes, goals have been in short supply for them. They've been goalless in 7 of their last 16 matches on their own turf. Depending on any team news that could materialise, this stat could make the difference. In the most part they've got away with it but sometimes losing their shape has cost them. They conceded three or more goals in 2 of their last 5 home matches. If they are facing any selection issues here they could be in trouble.

Hapoel Umm al-Fahm have demonstrated what they are capable of. While they are facing a huge challenge there is still some justification for an away win at the big price. They've scored at least once in all of their last 6 games. Their strikers are going to have to put in a mind blowing performance to get something from the game. Conceding an average of only 1.0 goals across their latest 6 games could have an impact on this game.

Maccabi Petah Tikva will want to further justify their short price with a clean sheet at full-time. It is not a strong view but the No BTTS bet seems prudent.
