Hapoel Kfar Shalem form and stats

With 2 Liga Leumit wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Hapoel Kfar Shalem, who have the most conceded goals (40) in Liga Leumit, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Two draws in a row at home now for Shalem.

Shalem are returning here after visiting Hapoel Iksal in a Liga Leumit game and winning with a 4-3 scoreline. Z. Boris, E. Seidere and M. Olaha scored the goal(s). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Sektzia Nes Tziona.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

Hapoel Kfar Shalem has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 18 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
