8.40Tip and bets
Bookmakers do not single out a favorite in the upcoming final, given that the season rivals in the national championship show comparable results and are located on neighboring lines in the Super League standings. Meanwhile, Maccabi Tel Aviv has noticeably improved during the season, won the last two personal meetings and, in general, has a more solid selection of players. We think that, given the odds set, it is worth giving preference to the nominal guests.
Our prediction is that Maccabi Tel Aviv will win with odds of 1.85

Bet on the first half
It is impossible not to notice that in the last three personal meetings, Maccabi Tel Aviv was stronger at the end of the first half. We do not exclude that this series will not be interrupted today.
