Hapoel Marmorek vs Hapoel Kfar Shalem tips and predictions

Closely contested Liga Alef South clash could go the distance

There's not much between Hapoel Marmorek and Hapoel Kfar Shalem in the Liga Alef South. The hosts are in second place with 8 points, compared to their opponents who are in fifth place on 6 points.

All results are in the runnning here so be sure to do tonnes of research. The suspicion is that this is going to be tight. A goalless stalemate is the pick.

Both of these sides have looked strong in defence. Having created something of a fortress at home, Hapoel Marmorek have conceded only 2 goals in their last 6 matches and Hapoel Kfar Shalem have been impressive defensively on the road. They have let in an average of 0.7 goals per game over their last 20 matches away from home.

Don't be surprised if the two sides cancel each other out in a battle of attrition. It's not the best value from today's fixtures but the No BTTS bet seems fair enough.

Hapoel Marmorek have drawn 2 of their last 4 matches, including their most recent match when they drew 1-1 with SC Dimona last week. Hapoel Kfar Shalem have drawn 4 of their last 7 matches. They drew with H. Bikat Hayarden last week. It isn't very exciting and it feels like a match to keep at arm's length and so the draw is certainly food for thought. A stalemate is on the cards after what could be a tightly contested match-up.
