Sektzia Nes Tziona are welcoming Ashdod for another important game after their 0-1 result against 6th-placed Hapoel Hadera.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Sektzia Nes Tziona form and stats

Sektzia Nes Tziona are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Nes Tziona Stadium, having lost their two previous games here.
S. Touray was the last player to score a league goal for Sektzia Nes Tziona and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Sektzia Nes Tziona haven't scored in 360 minutes.
