Maccabi Haifa vs Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona Prediction

For this State Cup fixture we go with Under 2.5 goals for Maccabi Haifa vs Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona, at 83% confidence. In their last 5 matches, Maccabi Haifa's games produced 2.2 goals on average, 2 of them over 2.5. Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona's games averaged 2.6, with 3 of 5 over the line. Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 5 of the 10 recent games went under 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Under 2.5.

The head-to-head points the other way: only 1 of their last 3 meetings finished under 2.5 goals. Older meetings say less about how these teams play now, so recent form counts for more in our numbers. At 83%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 3-2. The pick lost.
