Season ticket holders at Yankele Grundman Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Hapoel Kfar Shalem languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Hapoel Rishon LeZion will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It's no vacation for neither Shalem nor Hapoel Rishon LeZion 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 Kfar Shalem form and stats
Three Liga Leumit home games done for Hapoel Kfar Shalem, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Shalem to get some points in this home game. With Shalem having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager O. Peretz.
Shalem's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Hapoel Iksal (placed 1st). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Sektzia Nes Tziona (0-1).
There will be little rest for Shalem after this match as they are travelling to Kafr Qasim for a Liga Leumit game in only three days.
Shalem aren't scoring a lot here at Yankele Grundman Stadium in the league, with only 2 goals from 3 games. Shalem have conceded 7 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Hapoel Rishon LeZion form and stats
Hapoel Rishon LeZion have six points from their first three away games in the Liga Leumit, meaning two victories and a loss. Rishon has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
The Hapoel Rishon LeZion goalkeeper Yehonatan Shabi is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 306 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
It's the second away game in a row for Rishon, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Hapoel Afula (placed 15th) in the Liga Leumit last time out. Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Beitar Tel Aviv Ramla.
Late drama in the previous game, when O. Zohar scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time to defeat Hapoel Afula.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Liga Leumit trip to Hapoel Acre.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hapoel Rishon LeZion as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Rishon are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 1 away goal have been conceded so far.
