England U17 host Israel U17 in an international friendly. Both sides have looked capable of scoring goals in their recent outings, though England's sample stretches back over a much longer run of fixtures than Israel's.
These two only met back in March, when Israel came out on top, so there's some recent history to weigh up here. Whether that result tells us much about this meeting is another matter, given how much time has passed since either side's last recorded outing.

Israel's sample is shorter, 14 matches in total, with seven wins, three draws and four losses, scoring 25 and conceding 16. Their last three games, all back in March, were wins, including that meeting with England. There's nothing in the data since then, so we're working with a six-month gap for Israel heading into this one.
England arrive with fresher form on record, Israel with an older but positive run.

Recent history slightly favours Israel, but the sample is small and split across different competitions.

An open, goal-friendly game?
Both teams have shown a tendency to be involved in matches with goals at both ends. England's 52-33 record over 20 games and Israel's 25-16 over 14 both point to open, attacking football rather than tight, low-scoring affairs. Three of the four head-to-head meetings have produced at least three goals in total.
The tricky part is how much weight to put on Israel's numbers, given the six-month gap since their last recorded fixture. England's involvement in several different competitions, from World Cup qualifying to friendlies, also makes it hard to read too much into any single recent result.
With no betting line to weigh up and evidence that doesn't line up neatly for both sides, there's not a confident angle to back here. England have the fresher data, Israel the better recent head-to-head result, and neither point is strong enough on its own.
This one's better watched than bet on, at least until there's a market and some more recent information on Israel to work with.
