Hapoel Ra'anana form and stats
They also participated in State Cup last season.

Hapoel Ra'anana only have 0 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 2 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Hapoel Ra'anana have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 13 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Hapoel Haifa game. It's looking increasingly bleak for Hapoel Ra'anana who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Ironi Kiryat Shmona was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Hapoel Ra'anana's previous game was their home loss versus Bnei Yehuda (0-1). Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Sektzia Nes Tziona's place.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hapoel Ra'anana as they have only managed to score 9 times from 12 away games in the league. The Hapoel Ra'anana manager G. Cohen has some worries about the defense as 28 goals have been conceded in these travels.
