A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and 15th place in the table will show on the pitch.
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!
Shikun HaMizrah form and stats
22 points is a decent return from 9 Lig Bet games here for Shikun HaMizrah, who have the most clean sheets (7) in Lig Bet,. The data says 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Shikun HaMizrah haven’t lost a game in eleven attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Maccabi Kiryat Malachi, 91 days ago. Ever since the MS Be'er Sheva game Shikun HaMizrah has been unbeatable here producing four straight wins.
A good away victory last time out for Shikun HaMizrah, who won 5-0 against Beitar Ironi Kiryat Gat (placed 9th). A 1-1 draw away before that, with Ironi Kuseife the opponent.
As mentioned above, Shikun HaMizrah "killed" Beitar Ironi Kiryat Gat in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Shikun HaMizrah can score goals in their home matches. After 9 league matches they have found the net 18 times. Shikun HaMizrah have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 4 goals.
Moadon Tzeirey Rahat form and stats
There's been little loot from Moadon Tzeirey Rahat's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 8 away games in the Lig Bet. Moadon Tzeirey Rahat, who have the most conceded goals (66) in Lig Bet, only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws. Football is a nightmare at the moment for Moadon Tzeirey Rahat who have suffered through a seven match losing streak. If there's light at the end of the tunnel it's certainly not visible for the supporters. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on the Moadon Tzeirey Rahat manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
The manager was unhappy after their last game, a Lig Bet match played at their home ground Nahal Grar Park. Moadon Tzeirey Rahat suffered a 1-5 loss to Ironi Modi'in (placed 10th). Prior to that match, the Moadon Tzeirey Rahat manager faced defeat when travelling to Bnei Eilat and losing 1-8.
Moadon Tzeirey Rahat lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.
Moadon Tzeirey Rahat have scored 9 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. The Moadon Tzeirey Rahat defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 33 goals in their away games.
