Match analysis
Five meetings between Hapoel Katamon and Ironi Kiryat Shmona have swung hard in both directions over the past two years, and Superior's projection for their Ligat Ha'al meeting on 5 September in Israel settles on a tight 1-1, with 0-1 to the visitors as the alternative.
Kiryat Shmona have won the last two meetings after losing three of the previous five
Katamon won three of the first three meetings in this run, including a 2-0 and a 2-1, but Kiryat Shmona have since taken the last two, 1-0 in February and 3-1 in April. That reversal lines up with how each side is scoring now: Kiryat Shmona's attack is rated 6.4 against an average of 1.6 goals a game, ahead of Katamon's 1.2.
Kiryat Shmona's 3-1 in April shows the goals can come in bunches
The tight 1-1 forecast assumes a controlled match, but the most recent meeting produced four goals in a 3-1 Kiryat Shmona win, and Katamon have also shipped five in a 2-5 home defeat this season. If either defence has the same afternoon, this could finish more one-sided than the projected scoreline suggests.
