Hapoel Tel Aviv initiated their season with a draw against Bnei Sakhnin in their inaugural league match, concluding with a 1-1 scoreline. However, their league performance has been less than stellar in subsequent matches. In their most recent league fixture, they encountered their first defeat of the season against Maccabi Tel Aviv, which ended in a demoralizing 0-5 loss. As they gear up to face Beitar Jerusalem on Monday, they are undoubtedly hoping for a more positive outcome.

Hapoel Tel Aviv aims to improve on their recent performances. Their current league record stands at one win, two draws, and one loss from the four games they've played so far.

A critical analysis of their last 9 encounters produced 5 victories for Hapoel Tel Aviv, 2 victories for Beitar Jerusalem, and 2 draws.

Despite Hapoel Tel Aviv's recent struggles, their historical head-to-head statistics show dominance over Beitar Jerusalem. However, we anticipate a different dynamic in this upcoming game, particularly in terms of goal-scoring. Beitar Jerusalem has consistently found the net in the four league games they've played this season, suggesting they are likely to score in this matchup as well. Additionally, their last three encounters have seen both teams scoring, making (BTTS) at odds of 1.615 an attractive option.

Furthermore, we expect a minimum of two goals to be scored by either team in this match. Combining this with a prediction of a Hapoel Tel Aviv win or draw and under 4.5 total goals offers odds of 1.74.
