Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there isn't an obvious winner in this fixture, but good reason to think Ireland and Israel will score 2 or more goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Heimir Hallgrímsson or Ran Ben Shimon has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s lately either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.29 equating to about a 77% probability.
