This match features two teams living in the basement of the West Bank League, Thagafi Tulkarm holding 10th place and Palestinian Forces lying 12th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Thagafi Tulkarm form and stats
Thagafi Tulkarm's struggle is real here at Jamal Ghanem Stadium with only 6 points collected from 8 West Bank League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-4.
A strong away win for Thagafi Tulkarm against Al-Ahli Qalqilya the last match. Preceding that match was the home game against Taraji Wadi Al-Nes that was lost 1-2.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Thagafi Tulkarm here at Jamal Ghanem Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (7 from 8 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 12 goals have been conceded.
Palestinian Forces form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Palestinian Forces, who have the most conceded goals (38) in West Bank League, so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-5 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Palestinian Forces, who have now gone 15 games without a victory. The Taraji Wadi Al-Nes game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Palestinian Forces has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Palestinian Forces, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Markez Balata (placed 1st). A loss against Al-Ahli Qalqilya was the result prior to that, in a home game.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Palestinian Forces as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. Palestinian Forces have conceded 16 goals in these games.
