These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Ligat ha'Al. That game was an away game at Maccabi Tel Aviv, so at least Jerusalem are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Beitar Jerusalem form and stats

With 2 Ligat ha'Al wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Beitar Jerusalem, who have the most conceded goals (17) at home in Ligat ha'Al, are certainly not brimming with confidence. With Beitar Jerusalem having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager S. Drapić.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Bnei Sakhnin (2-3).

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Jerusalem matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, one draw and three defeats (from five games).

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Hapoel Kfar Saba are coming to town in three days.

Jerusalem has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Beitar Jerusalem defense is not exactly impregnable. 17 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Bnei Yehuda form and stats

Bnei Yehuda, who have the fewest points (6) away in Ligat ha'Al, have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Ligat ha'Al, after 1-3-7 (11 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Yehuda have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Bnei Sakhnin game.

A. Buzaglo was the last player to score for the away team. Yehuda haven't scored a league goal in the last 329 minutes.

Yehuda lost away at Maccabi Netanya (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Hapoel Hadera.

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 Bnei Yehuda playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and one home win.

A new game in only three days for Bnei Yehuda, the Ligat ha'Al home match versus Maccabi Haifa. Busy days.
