Ironi Tiberias will host Maccabi Netanya in matchweek 16 of the Israeli Premier League.

Ironi Tiberias have been inconsistent lately: a 0-2 loss to Hapoel Be’er-Sheva, a 2-1 win over Maccabi Petah-Tikva and a 2-2 draw with Hapoel Jerusalem. Maccabi Netanya also lack consistency: a 1-0 win against Hapoel Ironi Kiryat-Shmona, a 1-2 defeat to Maccabi Tel-Aviv and a 1-1 draw with Hapoel Haifa.

Both sides have regularly produced matches with over 3.5 goals. In the last five head-to-head encounters the average goal tally exceeds five. The odds of 2.27 on over 3.5 appear fair, with an estimated probability of around 58%.

Maccabi Netanya are clear favourites at 1.55, yet their meetings with Ironi Tiberias often end in high-scoring draws. Probability assessment: away win 48%, home win 24%, draw 28%.
