Season ticket holders at Lod Municipal Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Hapoel Bnei Lod languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Bnei Sakhnin will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It's no vacation for neither Hapoel Bnei Lod nor Bnei Sakhnin as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Hapoel Bnei Lod form and stats
1 victory, 0 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Hapoel Bnei Lod, who have the most conceded goals (33) in Liga Leumit, have to build on here at Lod Municipal Stadium in the Liga Leumit. There's also a terrible streak running regardless of playing venue as Hapoel Bnei Lod have lost nine games in a row. The home stadium (Lod Municipal Stadium) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Hapoel Bnei Lod it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?
The fans are hoping that Hapoel Bnei Lod will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the Liga Leumit game against Hapoel Rishon LeZion (placed 2nd). Preceding that match was the home game against Hapoel Nazareth Illit that was lost 1-4.
Hapoel Bnei Lod were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
The Hapoel Bnei Lod fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. Hapoel Bnei Lod's defense is seriously deficient as 16 goals have been conceded in these matches.
Bnei Sakhnin form and stats
2-2-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Bnei Sakhnin in their Liga Leumit matches away.
There were no winners in Bnei Sakhnin's previous match, a Liga Leumit home game that ended 1-1 vs Hapoel Petah Tikva (placed 10th). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Maccabi Ashdod at their stadium, the result 2-0.
Bnei Sakhnin find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 8 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. In the opposite end, Bnei Sakhnin have conceded 9 goals in their away games.
