Hapoel Kfar Saba hosts Beitar Jerusalem in round 12 of Israeli Ligat ha’Al. The match will be played on Thursday, December 24th at HaMoshava Stadium (Petah Tikva)
Hapoel Kfar Saba is again fighting for survival. There was once a time (in the early 80s) when the Greens even managed to become the champion of the country. But now the struggle for survival remains an urgent task for the club. It is not always successful, but last season Hapoel Kfar Saba managed to climb into 11th place. The start of the current championship was quite good. The Greens gained victories in both home matches (over Hapoel Tel Aviv and Bnei Yehuda). Then it got worse. The third and last victory was gained on November 24 (3-2 with Maccabi Haifa). After that, the club from Kfar Saba was able to avoid defeat only in the game with Hapoel Hadera and lost three times.

Beitar has significantly lost its ground this season. The Lions from the Capital have not won the title for over a decade. At the same time, they regularly represented Israel in the Europa League. However, Beitar didn’t succeed in the previous and the current draws (a few months ago, it lost to Albanian Teuta in the first qualification round). The club cannot boast of good results in the local arena either. There are more losses than wins and relatively few goals scored. However, Beitar was able to beat Hapoel Ironi in December after a long streak of four defeats (with a single draw with Maccabi from Netanya). It happened on the home pitch, but now the Lions will have to play on the road. And we would like to note that they feel great difficulties at foreign stadiums.
Hapoel managed not to lose to Beitar in only a few out of three dozen matches. But it is noteworthy that the hosts celebrated victory in Kfar Saba in the last February match. Although the capital Lions opened the scoring with an early goal, they lost with a 1-2 score. Now both teams don’t impress with their stats. Therefore, we recommend choosing the option with Under 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
