Game: Israel vs Cyprus
Venue: Teddy Stadium, Jerusalem
Competition: Euro 2016 Qualifiers, Group B
Date: 10/10/2015 @ 7.45PM
ISRAEL
Israel has started off its presence in the group with 3 wins in its first 3 games, against Cyprus and Andorra away from home with 1-2 and 1-4 respectively and against Bosnia at home with 3-0. However, since then it has managed just 1 win in 5 games, against Andorra with 4-0 at home. Israel needs 4 points from tonight’s game against Cyprus and from its last game in the group against Belgium away from home in order to secure its presence in the play-off stage of the competition.
Israel has had 6 over 2.5 goals outcomes in its 8 games in the group and 3 over 2.5 goals outcomes in its 4 home games in the group.
CYPRUS
Cyprus on the other hand needs all 6 points from tonight’s game and from its last game in the group against Bosnia at home, in order to keep its chances for the third position viable enough. Cyprus has managed 3 wins and suffered 5 defeats in 8 games in the group but it should be noted that 2 of its 3 wins have been against Andorra, the weakest team in the group and the only team that hasn’t picked up a point in 8 games.
Similar to Israel’s statistics, Cyprus has had 6 over 2.5 goals outcomes in 8 games in the group and 4 over 2.5 goals outcomes in its 4 away games in the group.
Prediction
Considering the over 2.5 goals statistics of the 2 teams and their urgency for the 3 points, the most sensible bet would be: goal/goal & over 2.5 goals, odd: 2.60 @ BET365 WIN
