Maccabi Haifa can and should convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.

At the other end, Ironi Kiryat Shmona may well struggle to get shooting opportunities but we do fancy them hitting back at some stage, too.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a pretty comfortable 3-1 victory for Maccabi Haifa at the end of the match.
