The league table is allowed to rest as Hapoel Petah Tikva and Ashdod battle for State Cup honors in this first Quarter-finals leg of two fixtures.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Hapoel Petah Tikva and Ashdod.
Hapoel Petah Tikva form and stats
Last season their State Cup adventure ended in the 8th round.5 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Hapoel Petah Tikva have to build on here at HaMoshava Stadium in the Liga Leumit.
A strong away win for Petah against Ironi Tiberias the last match.
Before that, Hapoel Petah Tikva had a Liga Leumit home game versus Maccabi Petah Tikva which ended with a victory 2-1.Hapoel Petah Tikva are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 11 games.
Ashdod form and stats
Ashdod's mission in State Cup last season failed in the 8th round.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ashdod so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-4 (win-draw-lose).
Ashdod played 1-1 against Ironi Kiryat Shmona in their previous match.
Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Hapoel Hadera.The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Ligat ha'Al trip to Hapoel Haifa.
The visitors have scored 8 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Ashdod's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 15 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Previous ten meetings with these participants: Petah won four, Ashdod triumphed in three and we saw three draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with under 2,5 goals.
