Hapoel Kfar Saba form and stats

When playing at home in the Ligat ha'Al, Hapoel Kfar Saba, who have the fewest clean sheets (4) in Ligat ha'Al, have managed 4 wins, 2 draws and suffered 7 defeats from 13 games. With seven home Ligat ha'Al games in a row without a win, the Hapoel Kfar Saba fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Maccabi Petah Tikva game long ago, can be stopped today. It's trouble wherever Hapoel Kfar Saba are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

In their previous game, the manager I. Shum led his Kfar to a defeat in the Ligat ha'Al match away at Bnei Sakhnin. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. Preceding that match was the home game against Hapoel Hadera that was lost 1-2.
