Ironi Nahariya has won five of the last seven meetings against Nes Ziona, which includes a five-point victory when thee teams met back in February. 

Nes Ziona is coming off a feel good victory over Hapoel Eilat, but that was this club first victory since March, and the defensive effort has been poor at best. You take Nes Ziona’s last three losses in the Israel Super League, and they’re a club that’s allowing an average of 94.6 points. That’s simply not going to get it done most nights. Ironi Nahariya has done a good job so far bouncing back from a loss and their defense has stepped up big time in victories. We also have the one-sided history that favors Ironi Nahariya.

I’ll lay the reasonable chalk with Ironi Nahariya.
