Match description
Ironi Kiryat Shmona (9th) holds a clear edge in form and efficiency: in the last 5 matches they scored 7 goals and won 4 of 5 (form: wwwwl), while Hapoel Katamon (13th) failed to score in their last 5 matches and has no wins. On the season hosts have 37 goals versus 22 for visitors; at home they average 1.38 goals scored and 1.46 conceded, whereas Katamon on the road scores only 0.92 and concedes 1.31 per match. The quality of created chances also favors the hosts: average xG for Ironi at home is 1.66 versus 1.35 xG for Hapoel away, and the visitors allow as much as 1.94 xG on the road versus 1.48 for the hosts. Additionally Ironi register more shots (13.77 vs 10.85) and more shots on target (4.69 vs 4.15), have 50% possession versus 38% for the visitors and a lower share of scoreless games (15% vs 31%), which increases their chance to score. Taking these specific numbers into account I predict a home win; forecast probabilities are 72% for an Ironi victory, 16% for a draw and 12% for Hapoel, with the visitors’ only realistic hope being a higher away clean-sheet rate (31% vs 23%).
