Kafr Qasim form and stats

There's been little loot from Kafr Qasim's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 6 away games in the Liga Leumit. Kafr Qasim, who have the fewest scored goals (8) in Liga Leumit, only have 0 wins to counter their 3 defeats and 3 draws.

The Qasim goalkeeper Tzlil Hatuka is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 188 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Qasim play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Maccabi Ahi Nazareth (after extra-time) (placed 10th). A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Hapoel Afula.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Kafr Qasim playing away, we found four games. Results were one away win, two draws and one home win.

A quick return to home after this game, as Kafr Qasim are hosting Hapoel Umm al-Fahm in the Liga Leumit only four days away.

Goals are few and far between in Qasim's away league games. Only 2 goals from 6 travels. 7 goals have been conceded by Qasim in these games.
