Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Ashdod & Hapoel Umm al-Fahm face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the State Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Liga Leumit. That game, against Hapoel Afula, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Hapoel Umm al-Fahm.
Ashdod form and stats
Ashdod was eliminated in the quarter-finals last season in the State Cup.Ashdod's results here at Yud-Alef Stadium in the Ligat ha'Al have been very modest with 2 victories, 1 draw and 4 defeats.
The Ashdod fans got no joy from their last match, a Ligat ha'Al game also here at Yud-Alef Stadium: A 0-2 defeat against Ironi Kiryat Shmona.
Before that match, a Ligat ha'Al win away at Maccabi Petah Tikva.There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Ashdod, as the Ligat ha'Al home game vs Hapoel Tel Aviv is only four days away.
Ashdod has scored 7 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. 10 goals have been conceded.
Hapoel Umm al-Fahm form and stats
Last season their State Cup adventure ended in the 4th round.There's been little loot from Hapoel Umm al-Fahm's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 7 away games in the Liga Leumit. Hapoel Umm al-Fahm only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 4 draws.
Two away games in a row for al-Fahm, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-3 versus Hapoel Afula in the Liga Leumit.
That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Agudat Sport Ashdod in the Liga Leumit.The attacking power of al-Fahm when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. As opposed to that, Hapoel Umm al-Fahm have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
