We said: Israel 3-0 Cyprus

Israel are coming into this clash high on confidence after a dramatic win against a good Zambia side, and will be expected to make it back-to-back wins here. Cyprus are in a bad way of late and have not won away from home since before the pandemic halted football in 2020, so it is hard to see them posing much of a threat for their hosts on Sunday afternoon.
