Hapoel Be'er Sheva form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Yaakov Turner Toto Stadium as Hapoel Be'er Sheva have scored 13 goals to get 17 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Ligat ha'Al are 5-2-0 (wins-draws-losses). Be'er has a nice streak going on as they have played 13 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Beitar Jerusalem defeat 115 days ago.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Be'er, as their goalkeeper Omri Glazer has completely shut out the opponents for 204 minutes in the Ligat ha'Al.

Happy days for Be'er in their previous game, a State Cup match away at Beitar Tel Aviv Ramla that ended with a 3-0 victory.

Previous to that game, a Ligat ha'Al home match hosting Hapoel Nazareth Illit in a game that was won 2-0.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Be'er as they are travelling to their away game against Hapoel Hadera in the Ligat ha'Al. That match is four days after this one.

The Be'er fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 13 goals in 7 league matches. From these home matches, Hapoel Be'er Sheva have conceded only 5 goals.

Beitar Jerusalem form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Beitar Jerusalem so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-5 (win-draw-lose). It's a growing despair in Beitar Jerusalem as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

Jerusalem had fun at their own home (Yaakov Turner Toto Stadium) last time out, beating Hapoel Afula (after extra-time) 2-1. Houja (2) scored.

It was a Ligat ha'Al defeat before that one as the away game against Maccabi Haifa wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Hapoel Katamon in just four days.

Jerusalem have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 7 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Jerusalem have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
