A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Hapoel Be'er Sheva fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and Sektzia Nes Tziona's 14th place in the table will show on the pitch.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Ligat ha'Al match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Maccabi Netanya.
Hapoel Be'er Sheva form and stats
Hapoel Be'er Sheva have performed here at Yaakov Turner Toto Stadium this season with 7 wins from 11 Ligat ha'Al matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 3. The last three games played by Hapoel Be'er Sheva, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.
An away draw last time out for Hapoel Be'er Sheva, facing Maccabi Netanya in a game that ended 1-1. In the match before that, Hapoel Be'er Sheva hosted Maccabi Tel Aviv and drew the game 1-1.
The Hapoel Be'er Sheva fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 11 matches. From these home matches, Hapoel Be'er Sheva have conceded only 8 goals.
Sektzia Nes Tziona form and stats
There's been little loot from Sektzia Nes Tziona's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 11 away games in the Ligat ha'Al. Sektzia Nes Tziona only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 5 draws. With the Sektzia Nes Tziona losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Sektzia Nes Tziona's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Sektzia Nes Tziona aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 450 league minutes without a goal. S. Touray was the last player to find the net.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Ligat ha'Al home defeat versus Ashdod with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Hapoel Hadera's place.
As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Sektzia Nes Tziona's match history for similar games we find two matches. The home team won two of these as expected, one of them by at least two goals. Sektzia Nes Tziona managed zero draws and zero surprise wins.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 16 goals have been conceded by Sektzia Nes Tziona in these games.
