Israel's recent home form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches resulting in two wins, two draws, and two losses. The team has struggled defensively, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game and keeping only one clean sheet during this period. Their most recent home match was particularly concerning, as they suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat against Iceland in the Euro Qualifiers, which stands out as the highest-scoring game in this sequence.
