Maccabi Haifa FC vs Ironi Tiberias FC Prediction: A sure win for the hosts

The highly awaited Israel Premier League returns on Saturday and Maccabi Haifa will take on newly promoted Ironi Tiberias at the Sammy Ofer Stadium. Maccabi Haifa finished 2nd place in the league last season while Ironi Tiberias earned their promotion from the Israel National League. Maccabi Haifa is the stronger team here and our prediction is a confident win for Haifa. Please see the carefully prepared tips for you. 

Maccabi Haifa had a great run in their league campaign last season finishing 2nd placed in the league with 23 wins, 7 draws, and 6 losses from the 36 games played. They trailed behind league leaders and champions Maccabi Tel Aviv by 11 points. Their dreams of playing in Europe and participating in the next Uefa Conference League came to an end at the hands of Sabah FK in the knockout stage. Their focus will now be on winning the Israel championship this season and it all begins at the Tiberias Municipal Stadium. 

Ironi Tiberias finished second place in the Israel National League last season and secured a straight qualification to the Israel Premier League. Their overall league statistics in the league last season was 20 wins, 12 draws and 5 losses from the 37 total league games played. 

Maccabi Haifa had an amazing run in the league last season and they’ll be aiming to start the season on a great note. Ironi Tiberias on the other hand just got promoted to the league and they’ll be yearning to make their mark but we don’t see the possibility of that happening against Maccabi Haifa. We believe Haifa will get the victory here. Haifa was big on goals last season and we can also expect a minimum of two goals from them on Saturday.
