Sadly I would bet against it.
Even more disgusting than the deal mentioned above is how smoothly it went over with the "moderate" right (which, as always, proves to be non existent).
There's also no real coordinated left. It's a party of three former '5 star generals', one of which was already secretary of defense before Netanyahu fired him for not being right wing enough. Obviously I hope they pull off an upset, but I'm also wary of "centrists".
Worth mentioning that while their party will probably win more seats than Netanyahu's, that's not how the Israeli system work. Netanyahu would still be a huge favorite to form a coalition unless the entire right-wing block takes a major hit, which is unlikely.
