Win Probability: Maccabi Ironi Sderot or Hapoel Azor?

Maccabi Ironi Sderot has a 42% chance of winning, the draw is at 30%, and Hapoel Azor has a 28% chance. This probability calculation is based primarily on the bookmaker odds, which show Maccabi Ironi Sderot as the favorite with a best price of 2.00 for a home win. The implied probability from these odds was adjusted to account for the home team's slightly better recent form and the natural home advantage.
