- Hapoel Kfar Saba have the the best goal difference (+8) in Liga Leumit
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the State Cup. That game was also an away game, at Bnei Eilat. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Hapoel Afula form and stats
Hapoel Afula, who have the the worst goal difference (-9) in Liga Leumit, have collected 2 points from their Liga Leumit home games so far after 0-2-2. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Afula with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Hapoel Ramat Gan game, 35 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Stress levels are on the rise for Afula's attacking players as they have now played 237 minutes without scoring in a league game. N. Ifrah was their last goal scorer.
Afula faced defeat in their previous match, away at Bnei Yehuda (0-5). As you see from the result above, Afula suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Preceding that match was the home game against Maccabi Bnei Raina that was lost 0-2.The lack of attacking qualities in Afula means that they have only scored 1 goal in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. On the other hand, Afula have conceded 4 goals.
Hapoel Kfar Saba form and stats
4 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. That’s the product of Hapoel Kfar Saba, who have the the best goal difference (+8) in Liga Leumit, playing as the away team in the Liga Leumit this season.
Two travels in a row for Kfar, whose manager O. Guttman could celebrate last time after the State Cup win against Bnei Eilat. As mentioned above, Kfar was the only team on the pitch versus Bnei Eilat in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Agudat Sport Ashdod in the Liga Leumit.Kfar have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 10 goals from 5 away matches. It's not easy to score on Kfar as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
