Season ticket holders at HaMoshava Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Hapoel Petah Tikva languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Hapoel Rishon LeZion will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Hapoel Petah Tikva has the fewest scored goals in the second half (3) in Liga Leumit
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Hapoel Petah Tikva and Hapoel Rishon LeZion.
Hapoel Petah Tikva form and stats
Hapoel Petah Tikva's results here at HaMoshava Stadium in the Liga Leumit have been very modest with 0 victories, 3 draws and 5 defeats. With eight home Liga Leumit games in a row without a win, the Petah 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 Afula game long ago, can be stopped today.
Petah are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Hapoel Afula. Before that, Petah played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Beitar Tel Aviv Ramla.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Petah as they are travelling to their away game against Hapoel Ramat HaSharon in the Liga Leumit. That match is three days after this one.
Petah has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 2 goals from 8 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 10 goals have been conceded.
Hapoel Rishon LeZion form and stats

A new game in only three days for Hapoel Rishon LeZion, the Liga Leumit home match versus Hapoel Nazareth Illit. Busy days.
