Hapoel Hod Hasharon form and stats

There's been little loot from Hapoel Hod Hasharon's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 7 away games in the Liga Bet - South A. Hapoel Hod Hasharon only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 0 draws. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Halaf, the Hapoel Hod Hasharon manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

There might be some fixture complaints from Hasharon as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 1-3 against Hapoel Mahane Yehuda.

A loss against Beitar Ramat Gan was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Take note! Both sides have scored at least once in 10 of this club's latest 11 league fixtures.

Hapoel Hod Hasharon have scored 8 goals on their travels this season, from 7 away games in the league.
