Israel vs Cyprus Prediction and Betting Tips

Israel will host Cyprus at the HaMoshava Stadium in a friendly clash on Sunday ahead of the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The home nation are set to miss out on the World Cup after capitulating in the second half of their qualification campaign which saw them lose three of their final five games. However, they picked themselves up in the UEFA Nations League, finishing top of their group after securing two wins and two draws in their four matches.

Sunday's game will mark the hosts' final match of 2022 and they will be looking to close out the year on a positive note.

Cyprus endured an abysmal World Cup qualifying campaign, winning just one of their 10 games and finishing fifth in their group with five points. They also failed to impress in the Nations League and are now hoping to find a new lease of life under new boss Temur Ketsbaia.

The visitors will aim to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways this weekend.
