Maccabi Netanya vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Prediction

Maccabi Netanya hosts Maccabi Tel Aviv on 19 September 2026 at 20:00 in Ligat Ha'al. Netanya arrive in poor form: one win, two draws, and two losses across their last five matches, with just one goal scored at home in three recent games. Tel Aviv come unbeaten in five, winning four and drawing one, with 17 goals across that run. The visitors won their last meeting 1–0 on 16 August.

Form and H2H

Netanya's home record shows defensive solidity but attacking fragility. In their last three home matches, they conceded only one goal but managed just one goal themselves. Against Hapoel Ramat Gan, they created two clear chances and fired 23 shots with seven on target, yet failed to score. Tel Aviv's away form is clinical: they beat Hapoel Beer Sheva 4–1 and Hapoel Jerusalem 5–2 in their last two road trips, combining for nine goals. In those matches they registered 22 and 17 shots respectively, with six clear chances in each game.

Head-to-head favours Tel Aviv decisively. In five meetings, Tel Aviv won four and drew one, outscoring Netanya 16–3. Netanya have not lost at home in their last nine matches, but Tel Aviv's away record shows at least four goals scored in eight of their last ten road games and at least two goals in eight of those ten.

Best Bet

Maccabi Tel Aviv not to lose. The visitors' five-game unbeaten streak, superior attacking output (18.2 shots and 8.4 on target per match versus Netanya's 15 and 6), and dominant head-to-head record make them heavy favourites. Netanya's home finishing remains a critical weakness despite creating chances. At 22Bet, a Tel Aviv win is priced at 1.73.

Odds to Watch

Tel Aviv's attacking threat makes a home draw unlikely given their recent form. A draw at 22Bet sits at 4.05. Netanya's home win at 4.03 requires a dramatic reversal of their current attacking form. The value lies with the away side's proven efficiency on the road and Netanya's inability to convert at home.
