We’ve got the feeling that Hapoel Jerusalem might need a bit of good fortune to score goals against this Maccabi Netanya team who we think should score at least once to gain the upper hand.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a hard-fought 1-0 winning margin for Maccabi Netanya at the end of the 90 minutes.
