Bnei Yehuda form and stats

Three Liga Leumit home games done for Bnei Yehuda, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Yehuda, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Bnei Yehuda are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 212 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by E. Atar).

The home team returns to Bloomfield Stadium after being equal after 90 minutes with Agudat Sport Ashdod (placed 3rd) on their last time out; the Liga Leumit game ended 0-0.

Before that game, the home loss against Hapoel Kfar Saba with the scoreline 0-1.

There will be little rest for Yehuda after this match as they are travelling to Sektzia Nes Tziona for a State Cup game in only four days.

The Bnei Yehuda fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Yehuda with 6 goals conceded in these matches.
