Hapoel Petah Tikva are welcoming Kafr Qasim for another important game after their 2-1 result against 2nd-placed Hapoel Iksal.
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 Petah and Kafr Qasim.
Hapoel Petah Tikva form and stats
Hapoel Petah Tikva have played 4 Liga Leumit games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). Three consecutive losses here at HaMoshava Stadium is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
Happy days for Petah in their previous game, a Liga Leumit match away at Hapoel Iksal (placed 2nd) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Preceding that match was a defeat to Sektzia Nes Tziona (0-1).
The manager M. Dego will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Hapoel Kfar Shalem in only four days.
Petah have scored 2 goals here in 4 league matches, a depressing statistic. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 6 goals have been conceded.
Kafr Qasim form and stats
