Football Bet of the Day: Raanana won't go bananas

Hapoel Raanana v Maccabi Haifa
Wednesday 18:30

Tondela tailed off in Portugal last night. 1-1 at half-time and we thought we're onto another odds-against winner. But 1-1 it stayed and so we fell just short.

We've scoured the hemispheres for today's bet and come up with a little something from Israel, where Maccabi Haifa are struggling down at the wrong end of the Premier League.

The Green Locomotive is on its way to Raanana, where we don't expect to find many goals this evening. Guy Lozon's visitors have scored in just three of their last 13 away games. Ten of those matches finished with Under 2.5 Goals, but that looks very tight at 1.501/2 today. Instead, we've locked on BTTS. Backing 'No' in that market has been the right thing to do in 13/15 since Lozon grabbed the reins.

For hosts Hapoel Raanana, it's 20/24 home games in which at least one side has failed to score. Even at 1.758/11, there's a touch of value about just saying 'No' at Netanya Stadium this evening.
