This calculation uses the inverse of the best available odds (home 2.15, draw 2.00, away 3.10) normalized to remove the bookmaker margin, then adjusted for Tzeirey Tamra's poor recent form and Hapoel Tirat HaCarmel's slight edge in away resilience. Hapoel Tirat HaCarmel is more likely to win, but the match is far from a certainty given the balanced H2H record.
