Bnei Eilat form and stats
Bnei Eilat was sent out of State Cup in the 4th round last season.It might be tough going out on the road again for Bnei Eilat, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-4 versus MS Dimona. A huge disappointment for Eilat in their last match (vs MS Dimona).
