Season ticket holders at HaShalom Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Hapoel Afula languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Hapoel Ramat Gan will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Hapoel Afula form and stats
Hapoel Afula's results here at HaShalom Stadium in the Liga Leumit have been very modest with 0 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 13 attempts. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Hapoel Afula fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Hapoel Petah Tikva game long ago, can be stopped today.
Hapoel Afula lost their last game at Bnei Sakhnin (placed 7th) after a 2-3 scoreline. The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Hapoel Rishon LeZion.
Hapoel Afula have scored 3 goals here in 7 league matches, a depressing statistic. Hapoel Afula have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Hapoel Ramat Gan form and stats
Hapoel Ramat Gan have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Liga Leumit, after 0-4-3 (7 played).
Hapoel Ramat Gan won their last game, 4-0 versus Hapoel Bnei Lod played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Hapoel Petah Tikva wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
As mentioned above, Hapoel Ramat Gan was the only team on the pitch versus Hapoel Bnei Lod in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
A quick return to home after this game, as Hapoel Ramat Gan are hosting Hapoel Ramat HaSharon in the Liga Leumit only four days away.
The attacking power of Hapoel Ramat Gan when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. 8 goals have been conceded by Hapoel Ramat Gan in these games.
