Hapoel Bu'eine form and stats

Hapoel Bu'eine, who have the most scored goals (46) in Lig Bet, have been very strong on the road so far with a massive 15 points collected from 6 Lig Bet games. 5 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat is the record so far. Hapoel Bu'eine have been producing wins at home as well, producing a total of six victories in a row regardless of arena. Having won their last three away games Hapoel Bu'eine has no reason to fear anyone.

It's the second away game in a row for Hapoel Bu'eine, but there's smiles all around after the 7-1 victory versus Elnahada Nazareth (placed 13th) in the Lig Bet last time out. That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus Tzeirey Tamra.

As mentioned above, Hapoel Bu'eine was the only team on the pitch versus Elnahada Nazareth in their previous game, winning 7-1. This could be a tougher task.

The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Hapoel Bu'eine alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (27 from 6 played). It's not easy to score on Hapoel Bu'eine as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
