An important duel in the bottom section of the Ligat ha'Al, with both Hapoel Be'er Sheva and Hapoel Haifa experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 11th and the visitors in 10th place.
- Hapoel Be'er Sheva have not yet lost a game at home.
- Hapoel Haifa has the fewest scored goals in the first half (0) in Ligat ha'Al
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Europa League match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Bayer Leverkusen, so at least Be'er are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Hapoel Be'er Sheva form and stats
Hapoel Be'er Sheva must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Ligat ha'Al games here at Teddi Malcha Stadium. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 180 minutes without scoring a league goal. G. Varenne was the last player to find the net.
Hapoel Be'er Sheva faced defeat in their previous match, away at Bayer Leverkusen (1-4). A Ligat ha'Al defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Ashdod.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Be'er have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won five times, drawn one and lost two.
The manager Y. Abukasis will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Slavia Praha in only three days.
The Be'er fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 5 goals in 3 league matches. Be'er have conceded 4 in these home matches.
Hapoel Haifa form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Ligat ha'Al for Hapoel Haifa with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Haifa are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
N. Zamir and K. Ganem scored in Haifa's previous match, the home game against Bnei Yehuda that ended 2-1. A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Maccabi Haifa.
Haifa are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, three draws and four defeats. From a total of seven matches.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Haifa as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Hapoel Haifa have conceded 5 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
