FC Ashdod

DDLLLL 📉

FC Ashdod will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 1-0 Ligat HaAl loss in their previous game against Hapoel Tel Aviv.

Loizos Loizou (84') was the scorer for Hapoel Tel Aviv.

It’s been seldom in recent times that FC Ashdod have shown defensive steel. The reality is that FC Ashdod have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 games, shipping 13 goals during that time.

Their prior results show that FC Ashdod:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Ironi Kiryat Shmona in their previous 2 matches.
• have not won at home in their last 4 league games. Their fans aren't happy.

Ironi Kiryat Shmona

DLDLLL 📉

Following on from a losing effort in their last game against Beitar Jerusalem in Ligat HaAl competition, Ironi Kiryat Shmona will be hoping to turn things around here.

Yarden Shua (45') and Omer Atzili (69') scored for Beitar Jerusalem.

The stats don’t lie, and Ironi Kiryat Shmona have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 13 goals in total. In defence, Ironi Kiryat Shmona can certainly do much better. We will just have to find out whether or not that trend will be continued on in this game.

• are winless against FC Ashdod when they have played them away from home in the previous 3 league matches.
• have not won away from home in their last 3 league games.

⚡ Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Ironi Kiryat Shmona and FC Ashdod could well cancel each other out, with goals at a real premium.

Let’s see what happens, but it could well be that we end up with scores level and two clean sheets. That is why we are leaning toward a close game with a 0-0 draw after 90 minutes.
