Hapoel Ramat Gan form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Liga Leumit travels is 4 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats.

It's the second away game in a row for Hapoel Ramat Gan, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Hapoel Acre (placed 5th) last time out. Eureka; their first win in the league after six rounds not winning. The end of the last match, against Hapoel Acre, was very satisfying as Ryan scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Hapoel Rishon LeZion.

The attacking power of Hapoel Ramat Gan when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 13 league matches away. 16 goals have been conceded by Ramat in these games.
