This match features two teams living in the basement of the Ligat ha'Al, Bnei Sakhnin holding 11th place and Hapoel Kfar Saba lying 13th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Bnei Sakhnin have the most conceded goals in the second half (24) in Ligat ha'Al
- Hapoel Kfar Saba is in the worst form (0-1-5)
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Bnei Sakhnin form and stats
Bnei Sakhnin's results here at Doha Stadium in the Ligat ha'Al have been very modest with 3 victories, 1 draw and 9 defeats.
Bnei Sakhnin drew their last game, also a home match. Bnei Yehuda was the opponent, 1-1 the score. 0-0 away at Maccabi Netanya before that.
This is expected to be a close game, with Bnei Sakhnin perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bnei Sakhnin as a small favourite), we find seven games. Bnei Sakhnin has won one of these, drawn two and lost four.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the State Cup game versus Beitar Tel Aviv Ramla in only four days. This game is also played here at Doha Stadium.
Sakhnin has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 4 goals from 13 games. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 16 goals have been conceded.
Hapoel Kfar Saba form and stats
There's been little loot from Hapoel Kfar Saba's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 13 away games in the Ligat ha'Al. Hapoel Kfar Saba, who have the fewest clean sheets (4) in Ligat ha'Al, only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws. With the Kfar losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on I. Shum, the Kfar manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
A 1-3 defeat away at Beitar Jerusalem before that.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Kfar in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Hapoel Kfar Saba, four draws and three defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hapoel Kfar Saba as they have only managed to score 8 times from 13 away games in the league. Hapoel Kfar Saba have conceded 21 goals in these games.
