Pick: Maccabi Haifa (+1.5) Result: 2-0 Stake: 2/10 Odds: 1.85 Bookmaker: 10betvCash: No Posted: May 31, 2008, 13:28
-----------------------
Ashdod have 36 points in the 8th place, two points above the relegation zone. They have under tham Bnei Yehuda with 35 points, and Maccabi PTH and Hapoel Kfar Sava with 34 points.
Ashdod will not necessarily have to win in order to stay in the league but of course they will prefer it.
Yossi Mizrahi will have a full roster.
Maccabi Haifa will field their second team.
They will miss 10 regualrs.
This is the last game of Roni Levi the coach, after 5 yeras in the club.
The youngsters that will play are maybe better than the regualrs, as the regulars are already fed up with this season, and if the would have played, they wouldn't take it seriously.
The youngsters will want to improve themselves.
Prediction:
I know it's tough to bet on a team playing with the second team, but the AHC is just to big for Ashdod.
Pick: Maccabi Haifa (-0.25) Result: 3-0 Stake: 2/10 Odds: 1.90 Bookmaker: StanJamesvCash: No Posted: May 24, 2008, 14:59
----------------
Maccabi Haifa have nothing to play for.
No surivival battles and no chance to qualify to Europe.
They will field up a formation with 3-4 players from the regualar players are out.
First goalkeeper, Nir Davidovich, midfielder Omri Afek, stiker Renato.
But the youngsters of Haifa, using the help of expirienced full back Alon Harazi showed they can collect points after two draws in two tough matches.
Maccabi Herzelia is sitting in the last place of the table and although this league is crazy and anything can happan, I can mark them as the first team who will relegate.
Loosing points in the important games this season. They had many opportunities during the season and didn't take it.
The best player of them team, Davis has finished the season and maybe his career. The coach Fredi David is probably not going to stay no matter what he will achieve until the end of the season.
Prediction:
Not easy to bet on a team who is playing for nothing agsint a team that want to stay in the league, but I believe that the second team of Haifa can win Maccabi Herzeliya.
Pick: Beitar Jerusalem (+0) Result: 3-2 Stake: 2/10 Odds: 1.81 Bookmaker: 10betvCash: No Posted: May 24, 2008, 14:37
-------------
Kiryat Shmona need the win in order to qulify to Uefa next season.
They get back Yuval Avidor (striker) and Guy Tzarfati (midfielder) both very important players.
The will miss their full back Amir Nusbaum and the coach Ran Ben Shimon will need to figure out who will replace Nusbaum.
Kiryat Shmona hope that Beitar will come in euforia and will not take the game seriously.
Beitar Jerusalem had a sweet week.
They have won the leauge and 3 days later they added the cup and completed a double.
The players celebrated with the fans and the atmosphere in the team is very good.
Prediction:
Beitar will play with no pressure and will have a chance to show what they really know.
Pick: Maccabi Tel Aviv (+0.25) Result: 2-3 Stake: 2/10 Odds: 1.85 Bookmaker: StanJamesvCash: No Posted: May 24, 2008, 14:14
------------
Hapoel Kfar Saba dropped to the 10th place and they can smell the relegation zone, only one point above it.
What led them to this situation is the poor form they have been in the last weeks.
1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses in the last 10 games.
Avihai Yadin (defensive midfielder, 18 games, 1 goal, 1 assist) is suspended and Lira (full back, 24 games, 1 goal, 1 assist) is injured.
Ofer Talker will replace Lira. It may cause trouble at Kfar Saba's defence as Talker is an old player who didn't play for a long time and is rusty. The team is tensed about this game and the know that they must get the win.
Maccabi Tel Aviv have finally promised their spot in the first league next season. After last week's win, a lot of pressure was taken off the team.
Yossi Shivhon (attacking midfielder, 9 goals, 5 assists), Yuval Shpungin (full back, 27 games, 1 assist) and Moshe Mishaelof (central defender, 17 games, one goal) are all injured and will miss the match.
Rudi Hadad will replace Shivhon, after two matches that he started as a sub.
Prediction:
Kfar Saba need the points more than Maccabi, but Maccabi have more quality, and without the pressure, they can translate their quality into points.
It opened very well when Hapoel Tel Aviv won 1-0 and the pick won.
After that, Kiryat Shmona lead 2-0 and the game looked like it was over, but an own goal and a late goal gave Herzeliya one point.
Ashdod couldn't get a draw against Netanya with 10 players.
Pick: Hapoel Kiryat Shmona (-0.5) Result: 2-2 Stake: 3/10 Odds: 1.80 Bookmaker: StanJamesvCash: No Posted: May 10, 2008, 10:14
-----------------
Kiryat Shmona is a very good home team with 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses at home.
Kiryat Shmona lost away last week to Hapoel Tel Aviv and they are coming back home after three weeks (two weeks break and the game last week). The fans will be hungry, the players too and I don't think they will dissapoint.
Kiryat Shomna to get a ticket to Europe to make an historical preformence for the club.
They are 3rd need the points.
Yero Belu (striker) will miss the game.
Maccabi Herezlia is 11th (out of twelve teams).
One point seperate them and the regelation zone but until now they have failed in most of the crucial games.
Last week that had a good chance to get points at home but they lost. The coach Fredi David is going to shake things up a little bit. Mharan Radi and Shalev Menashe are both regulars who are expected to sit on the bench today after showing weak preformences last week.
Davis, the best player in Herzeliya this season has finished his season after a bad tackle last game.
Prediction:
Although Herzeliya need the points, I don't believe they have the tools to get it.
Pick: MS Ashdod (+0.5) Result: 1-0 Stake: 2/10 Odds: 1.86 Bookmaker: PinnaclevCash: No Posted: May 10, 2008, 09:55
--------------
Maccabi Netanya is a strong team with a solid defence, concending only 17 goals so far.
They are in the 2nd place with 52 points, three points above the 3rd and 4th place.
Avi Strool and Maoz Semia, both defenders, will miss the match today.
They are coming after a good win away at Herzelia where Itay Shecter had a good match, and he will open in the starting elven also today.
Ashdod is in very high moral after winning the champions Beitar Jerusalem. Although Beitar had several players injured, Ashdod fought, played well and claimed the victory who got them up the relegation zone.
They will have a full roster with no missings at all.
Netanya will have to watch out of players like Dimitar Mekriev, Moshe Ohyon and Daviv Revivo who played well last week and they are the engine of Ashdod.
Prediction:
Netanya have won the last two meetings this season,
but I have a feeling that Ashdod can take at least one point out of this encounter.
