Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Maccabi Ahi Nazareth in 7th and Hapoel Umm al-Fahm in 6th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Maccabi Ahi Nazareth form and stats
Overall Liga Leumit stats at home this season for Maccabi Ahi Nazareth are 1-1-1 (wins-draw-losses).
Maccabi Ahi Nazareth drew their last game, 0-0 away at Hapoel Ra'anana (placed 10th). Ahead of that match, Nazareth lost 1-4 at home to Hapoel Nazareth Illit.
The manager N. Berckovich will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Beitar Tel Aviv Ramla in only three days.
Nazareth are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. On the other hand, Nazareth have conceded 4 goals.
Hapoel Umm al-Fahm form and stats
Hapoel Umm al-Fahm are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Liga Leumit, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses). Two points from the last two away games for al-Fahm, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
237 minutes! That's how long the Hapoel Umm al-Fahm goalkeeper and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
al-Fahm are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Liga Leumit against Hapoel Katamon (placed 11th). A 0-0 draw at Hapoel Ramat HaSharon's stadium before that.
After this away game al-Fahm return home for a Liga Leumit game against Hapoel Ramat Gan. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hapoel Umm al-Fahm as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. al-Fahm are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 1 goal away.
