This match features two teams living in the basement of the Ligat ha'Al, Ashdod holding 10th place and Hapoel Ra'anana lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Ashdod and Hapoel Ra'anana should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Ashdod form and stats
With 1 Ligat ha'Al win, 5 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Ashdod are certainly not brimming with confidence. Ashdod are slowly digging their own grave here at Yud-Alef Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Hapoel Tel Aviv match.
Ashdod lost their last game at Hapoel Be'er Sheva (placed 4th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Preceding that game was the away draw at Hapoel Tel Aviv that finished 0-0.

Hapoel Ra'anana form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Hapoel Ra'anana, who have the most conceded goals (15) away in Ligat ha'Al, so far with only 1 point returning home. The records show 0-1-6 (win-draw-lose). Hapoel Ra'anana are desperate to end a 14-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Beitar Jerusalem fixture.
Hapoel Ra'anana delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Hapoel Hadera (placed 7th) in their previous match; a Ligat ha'Al game. Prior to that match, the Hapoel Ra'anana manager N. Avitan faced defeat when travelling to Beitar Jerusalem and losing 0-2.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hapoel Ra'anana as they have only managed to score 5 times from 7 away games in the league. Hapoel Ra'anana have conceded 15 goals in these games.
