Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Hapoel Hod Hasharon languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Shimshon Tel Aviv will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Shimshon Tel Aviv have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 3-4-12 (win-draw-loss) from 19 matches.
Hapoel Hod Hasharon form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Lig Bet this season. Hapoel Hod Hasharon, who have the most conceded goals (20) at home in Lig Bet, have only managed 1 win, 3 draws and 5 losses from their games here.
A good away victory last time out for Hapoel Hod Hasharon, who won 3-2 against Hapoel Kiryat Ono (placed 3rd). Nobody expected Hapoel Hod Hasharon to beat Hapoel Kiryat Ono in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Hapoel Kafr Qasim Shouaa that ended 1-1.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Hapoel Hod Hasharon here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (7 from 9 games). Hapoel Hod Hasharon have conceded 20 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Shimshon Tel Aviv form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Shimshon Tel Aviv so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-4 (win-draw-lose).

Shimshon Tel Aviv are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 15 times in 9 away games so far. The Shimshon Tel Aviv manager has some worries about the defense as 18 goals have been conceded in these travels.
