Match begins: 16:30 (UTC)

Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Hapoel Kfar Saba & Hapoel Afula face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the State Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Ligat ha'Al match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Beitar Jerusalem, so at least Hapoel Kfar Saba are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Hapoel Kfar Saba form and stats

Last season their State Cup adventure ended in the 8th round.

Hapoel Kfar Saba have collected 14 points from their Ligat ha'Al home games so far after 4-2-6.

Kfar are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Beitar Jerusalem. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Hapoel Haifa that ended 0-0.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Hapoel Kfar Saba as they have a new game in only two days, a Ligat ha'Al match thankfully also at home. Ironi Kiryat Shmona are visiting.

Hapoel Afula form and stats

Afula was sent out of State Cup in the 8th finals last season.

There's been little loot from Hapoel Afula's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 13 away games in the Liga Leumit. Hapoel Afula only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 5 draws. Two points from the last two away games for Afula, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Hapoel Ramat Gan in their previous outing. The Liga Leumit match ended in a draw 1-1. Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Maccabi Ahi Nazareth in the Liga Leumit.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hapoel Afula as they have only managed to score 8 times from 13 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Afula have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Last nine meetings between the teams: Kfar won five, Hapoel Afula won two and two draws. four games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.
