Hapoel Kfar Shalem form and stats
There's been little loot from Hapoel Kfar Shalem's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 7 away games in the Liga Leumit. Hapoel Kfar Shalem, who have the most conceded goals (30) in Liga Leumit, only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws. It's looking increasingly bleak for Shalem who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Hapoel Petah Tikva was the last time a defeat was avoided. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on O. Peretz, the Shalem manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Shalem, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Hapoel Afula (placed 13th). The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Beitar Tel Aviv Ramla.
A new game in only four days for Shalem, the Liga Leumit home match versus Hapoel Ramat HaSharon. Busy days.
Goals are few and far between in Shalem's away league games. Only 3 goals from 7 travels. For Hapoel Kfar Shalem, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
