Maccabi Ramat vs Electra Ramat Betting Preview

Women - Maccabi Ramat v Electra Ramat

9 February 2009 | Preview By Tipster Ben Ben (Israel)

The 14th round of the Israeli women league will bring together two of the better teams in the Israeli league. Ramat Hen is in great form, especially after they won the Cup in Israel. The American players,Tamara James,Ivory Latta and Latoya Pringle still leads the team in every category and after a long fight with her former Turkish club, Shay Doron,one of the best European players and for sure the best Israeli player, joins the team to add an extra power on both sides of the floor. Ramat Hen joined Doron for one reason,winning the championship in Israel, and while the team leads the ladder ,the expectations are very realistic.Ramat Hen is the best offensive team in the league scoring at home 84.9 points per game and allowing only 65.8 points per game.Ramat Hasharon had and still have high expectations from this season but too many changes in the roster hurts the stability of the team. 4 major players dismissed while other 4 players joined the team lately and although Ramat Hasharon is in the 3rd place,it reflects more the weaknesses of the other teams in the league than the strength of Ramat Hasharon. Another big difference between those two teams, is the coach position, when Ramat Hen's coach (Edni Dagan) is a much more skilled coach than his collague, Orna Ostfeld from Ramat Hasharon.Ramat Hasharon scores away 82 points and allowing 70 points but I prefer the home court advantage and the better roster of Ramat Hen. Although some of the matches between those two teams were quite tight I cautiously believe that the home team can win here by 7 points and up.
