Football Bet of the Day: Home win in Haifa

Maccabi Haifa v Hapoel Tel Aviv
Monday 18:45

In Brazil last night, Kev was denied at the very last. Fluminense took an early lead at Vasco da Gama and held on all the way to the 91st minute, when the hosts snatched an equaliser to draw 1-1. To help him get over it, Kev gets his stake back (Draw No Bet) and a week off.

We pick up the reins in Israel, where tonight's Premier League game brings Hapoel Tel Aviv to table-topping Maccabi Haifi. The hosts have won 7/8 league meetings with Hapoel since 2016 and we fancy they can make it 8/9 this evening.

Maccabi are W3-D1-L0 at Sammy Ofer Stadium this season, having scored at least twice in all four of those matches. Home and away, the Greens struck 20 times across the first nine rounds of the campaign and look like they have the firepower to blow today's visitors away.

Hapoel Tel Aviv have lost 4/4 on the road this term. Going back into last season, it's seven straight defeats away from home - and only one goal scored across those seven games. Since the start of last season, they've lost 13 away games. In nine of those defeats, the margin of defeat was at least a couple of goals. With a bit of cover for a one-goal win, we'll back the hosts to win tonight with something to spare.
