Maccabi Shaarayim FC vs Maccabi Ironi Ashdod tips and predictions

Compelling Liga Alef South battle should be a tight affair

There's not much between Maccabi Shaarayim FC and Maccabi Ironi Ashdod in the Liga Alef South. The hosts are in 13th place with 28 points, compared to their opponents who are in tenth place on 31 points.

All results are possible here so be cautious when looking into this one. With goals being far from abundant both of these sides will fancy their chances of keeping a clean sheet and it's certainly not one to go mad about. That said, the draw is the play from the 1X2.

These sides have not been at their best in front of goal. Maccabi Shaarayim FC have only scored twice in their last 5 home starts which doesn't sound good. Maccabi Ironi Ashdod have only scored once in their last 6 games.

The match could turn into a game of tiny margins with the two sides ultimately cancelling each other out. It's not standout value but the No BTTS bet seems fair enough.

Maccabi Shaarayim FC have drawn 7 of their last 20 matches on their own soil, most recently when they drew 1-1 with Ironi Modiin last week. Maccabi Ironi Ashdod have drawn 2 of their last 3 matches on the road. It's not very exciting and it feels like a match to sit on the fence about but the draw warrants consideration. Stalemate is the pick after what will probably be a close encounter.
