It's game day two of the Liga Leumit campaign and everything to play for. Don't miss our in-depth preview of Bnei Yehuda-Hapoel Rishon LeZion!
Not much time to rest for the hosting team, as they performed in a Liga Leumit game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Hapoel Ramat HaSharon, so at least Bnei Yehuda are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Bnei Yehuda form and stats
Last season, Bnei Yehuda's league stats were 9 wins, 11 draws and 10 losses, producing 8th spot in the Liga Leumit. In these 30 matches they scored 34 goals and conceded 30. Performing at home in the previous season Bnei Yehuda delivered 5-5-5 (win-draw-lost) with 18 goals and 15 conceded.
Bnei Yehuda faced defeat in their previous match, away at Hapoel Ramat HaSharon (0-1).
Before that game, a loss in the away fixture against Hapoel Petah Tikva in the Toto Cup Ligat Leumit. The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Yehuda have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 4 and lost 4.
Hapoel Rishon LeZion form and stats
Let's have a look at how Hapoel Rishon LeZion performed last season in the Liga Leumit: They landed a 9th position in the league table after playing out 10 victories, 8 draws and 12 defeats. In total they scored 37 and conceded 38 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 4 and lost 5 with 23/20 goals scored/conceded.
The manager Nussbaum was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Haberfeld Stadium. Hapoel Rishon LeZion suffered a 0-1 loss to Hapoel Kfar Saba (placed 4th).
Before that game, the win at home against Hapoel Petah Tikva in the Toto Cup Ligat Leumit (3-1). As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Hapoel Rishon LeZion in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Rishon, 9 draws and 1 defeat.
A quick return to home after this game, as Hapoel Rishon LeZion are hosting Maccabi Petah Tikva in the Toto Cup Ligat Leumit only four days away.
