The matches of the podcast:Hapoel Kfar Saba – Hapoel Tel Aviv | Premier league | Saturday (29.8) 19:30 CETThis is the first match of the season. Hapoel Kfar Saba the home team kept most of their squad from last year. While, Hapoel Tel Aviv the away team changed most of their squad. They have new goalkeeper and new central back. In the Pre-season tournament, The Toto Cup. The home team finished 8th and the Away ream finished 10th. Both team did not performed well. The away team scored one goal in four games. Both teams won only one time against bottom league teams. This year both teams will fight against relegation. They will not win a lot. It feels like they do not know how to win. From the odds that the bookmakers give to this match, it looks like Hapoel Tel-Aviv, the away team has an advantage. However, it is a fiction. I believe that both teams prefer not to lose this match. It will end with a Draw. If the odds for under goals were good. I would suggest going on under goals too. But, the Odds are low.Hapoel Haifa – Beitar Jerusalem | Premier league | Sunday (30.8) 19:15 CETUntil yesterday, the away team Beitar Jerusalem was total favorite to win this match. In my option. They had a good Pre Season tournament. They finished third with 2 wins and 2 draws in four matches. They did not concede any goal in this 4 matches. While the Home team, Hapoel Haifa finished in the last place in the Pre-Season tournament. With 1 draw and three loses. The bookies gave high odds (2.10) for an Away win. This is a very good odd. If you take in your mind that there is no effect to the Home venue when there is no crowd on the stands. But!! , two days ago, Beitar Jerusalem lost in the first round of the Europa League to a small club from Albania. The owner got crazy and fired the coach. Following this act, the general manager decided to finish his part in the club. With no coach and general manager. There is a big chaos in the club. I believe that even the chaos that the away team have. They still will win this match. The player will want to comfort their fanatic crowed and their Boss. The away team is a crazy club and this kind of incident can give them the power to win. Not with a great football, but they will win it.  Hapoel Nof Hagalil – Beitar Tel Aviv | National league | Monday (31.8) 18:00 CETThis is the match to put your high stakes in this episode. The home team Hapoel Nof Hagalil finished first in the second division Pre-Season tournament with four wins from four matches with 11-0 goals difference. They won 3-0 in the finals last week. The home have a crazy squad and the really believe they can win the league and play next year in the Israeli Premier league. The away team Beitar Tel Aviv has a brand new squad, young squad. They finished 4th in the Pre-Season tournament with 2-1-1 The bookmakers give 2.13 to a Home win. Very high odds. 2.13 it means that the bookmakers give 47% probability for a Home team. I believe that the probability is closer to 65%-70% for a Home win.
