Hapoel Bnei Zalafa form and stats

Things could have gone better for Hapoel Bnei Zalafa in their Liga Alef - North away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right.

Hapoel Bnei Zalafa might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Ironi Baka El Garbiya proved too strong as Hapoel Bnei Zalafa slumped to a 0-6 defeat in front of their own fans. That loss was their first after five consecutive league fixtures winning points. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Ironi Baka El Garbiya was particularly ugly (0-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Ahead of that, the State Cup victory away at Tzeirei Iksal. So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Hapoel Bnei Zalafa playing away and similar expectations, we found 11 relevant matches. Results were 5 Hapoel Bnei Zalafa wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat.

It's early days yet, but Hapoel Bnei Zalafa has scored 4 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
