Our Verdict
Dinamo Zagreb look the value selection at 2.00. The Croatian side average significantly more shots per match than their Israeli counterparts, and that statistical dominance underpins the market's pricing. Four wins from their last five outings give Zagreb genuine momentum, while Be'er Sheva's strong domestic form may not translate against superior European opposition. An away win is our pick, with the over 2.5 goals market at 1.65 offering a worthwhile secondary angle given Zagreb's attacking output.
