"At the other end of the pitch, Sakhnin have scored in 15/18 road games under Yossi Abuksis"

Back Both Teams to Score @ 2.206/5 in Maccabi Petach Tikva v Bnei Sakhnin

There are snowstorms on their way to the UK, but Tobias Gourlay's more excited by the prospect of a footballing maelstrom on the other side of the Med

Maccabi Petach Tikva v Bnei Sakhnin
Tuesday 17:00


They were KO'ed in the end, but AOK Kerkyra put up just the fight we hoped they would in Greece last night. Panathinaikos 1 AOK Kerkyra 0 means we start the week as we mean to go on.

Today we're crossing the Med and heading to the outskirts of Tel Aviv for one of tonight's three games from the Israeli Premier League.

Dani Golan's Maccabi Petach Tikva are entertaining Yossi Abuksis's Bnei Sakhnin and we like the big price on goals at both ends.

The home side are even-money favourites, despite logging just four clean sheets in 12 appearances at HaMoshava Stadium since Golan took charge. They've scored themselves in all but two of those games, and should have little trouble finding ways through an opposition defence that has conceded on 11 of its last 14 away days.

At the other end of the pitch, Sakhnin have scored in 15/18 road games under Abuksis. This season, only top-of-the-table Hapoel Be'er Sheva have shut them down and we say Petach Tikva won't keep them totally quiet for 90 minutes.
