Maccabi Ashdod has not won in their last five league outings, while Irony Bet Shemesh has one win in their last five across all competitions.

Win Probability: Irony Bet Shemesh or Maccabi Ashdod?

Who will win this match? We calculate the win probability based on the odds, form, and the lack of a clear home advantage in the data. The average bookmaker odds imply a tight game. After removing the margin, the true chances are: Maccabi Ashdod win 42%, draw 25%, Irony Bet Shemesh win 33%. Maccabi Ashdod gets the edge because the odds consistently price them slightly shorter, and their away draws against FC Jerusalem and Hapoel Marmorek show they can grind out results on the road. Irony Bet Shemesh has home field, but the heavy 1-4 loss to MK Kfar Saba 1928 and the 0-2 defeat at Shimshon Tel Aviv raise questions about their defensive stability.
