Hapoel Kfar Shalem form and stats

There's been little loot from Hapoel Kfar Shalem's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 6 away games in the Liga Leumit. Hapoel Kfar Shalem, who have the most conceded goals (28) in Liga Leumit, only have 0 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws. It's looking increasingly bleak for Hapoel Kfar Shalem who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Hapoel Petah Tikva was the last time a defeat was avoided. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Shalem have lost on their last two travels.

Hapoel Kfar Shalem failed to get anything from their last game, a Liga Leumit home match vs Beitar Tel Aviv Ramla (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 1-3. A 0-1 defeat away at Hapoel Umm al-Fahm before that.

Shalem are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 3 goals from 6 away games. Shalem have conceded 12 goals in these games.
