Hapoel Jerusalem has won four of the last five meetings against Maccabi Tel Aviv, which includes a 11-point victory in March of this year, the most recent match. 

Both of these clubs are playing wonderful basketball heading into this contest and Maccabi Tel Aviv probably has the edge because of a more consistent offense that’s fresh off blowing the doors off of Hapoel Holon and dropping 103 points. With that said, Hapoel Jerusalem hasn’t lost a game since the end of January and is winning by an average of 7.3 points in its last three games back. Hapoel Jerusalem has also won four of the last five meetings against Maccabi Tel Aviv.

I’ll gladly take my chances with the free buckets.
