Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Bnei Eilat & Hapoel Kfar Saba face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the State Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Bnei Eilat nor Hapoel Kfar Saba as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Bnei Eilat form and stats
Last season their State Cup adventure ended in the 1st round.3W-0D-0L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the State Cup for Bnei Eilat. The home stadium (The North Beach) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Bnei Eilat it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?
The Eilat fans got no joy from their last match, a Liga Alef game also here at The North Beach: A 0-1 defeat against Maccabi Shaarayim.
Heartbreak before that as Eilat lost 1-2 at Hapoel Bikat Hayarden's place.There will be little rest for Eilat after this match as they are travelling to Agudat Sport Nordia for a Liga Alef game in only three days.
Hapoel Kfar Saba form and stats
Last season their State Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals.As the visiting team in Liga Leumit matches, Hapoel Kfar Saba have produced an overall stat of 4-1-0 so far.
Kfar go into this game after a win, the home game against Agudat Sport Ashdod that ended 2-0.
A 2-2 draw at Kafr Qasim's stadium before that.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Hapoel Kfar Saba manager O. Guttman as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Hapoel Afula.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Kfar are regular goalscorers on their travels. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).
