Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Hapoel Hadera in 5th and Bnei Yehuda in 8th place.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Hapoel Hadera form and stats
Hapoel Hadera have played 4 Ligat ha'Al games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-0 (wins-draws-losses).
The home team returns to Bloomfield after sharing the points with Sektzia Nes Tziona (placed 14th) on their last time out; the Ligat ha'Al game ended 2-2. Ahead of that match, Hapoel Hadera won a home game hosting Maccabi Netanya (1-0).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Hapoel Hadera have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 3 Lost 0.
The Hapoel Hadera manager O. Guttman has got the team scoring with 8 from 4 home games in the league. Hapoel Hadera are not conceding a lot of goals here at Bloomfield in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 3 from 4 matches.
Bnei Yehuda form and stats
The visitors are W1-D3-L0 on the road this term. That's in the Ligat ha'Al. Visiting Bnei Yehuda has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Ligat ha'Al home defeat versus Beitar Jerusalem with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Maccabi Haifa.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Bnei Yehuda playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were 3 Bnei Yehuda wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Bnei Yehuda as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. Bnei Yehuda are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 2 goals away.
Head 2 Head
Last four meetings between the teams: Hapoel Hadera won 1, Bnei Yehuda won 3 and 0 draws. 3 games with over 2,5 goals, 1 match with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
