Head-to-head statistics Hapoel Beer Sheva - Hapoel Kiryat Shmona
Hapoel Beer Sheva are juggling commitments across multiple competitions
Hapoel Beer Sheva have been inconsistent so far this season: two wins, one draw and one defeat from their opening four league rounds. Sitting outside the top three in the Premier League looks about right at this stage. That said, they can be reasonably pleased with their European start - they drew 0-0 with Dinamo Zagreb in the first round of the Europa League, keeping a clean sheet for the second match in a row.
Over their last ten matches, they have averaged 1.4 goals scored and 1.7 conceded per game. The defence is not particularly reliable - opponents regularly find chances at their end - but the attack remains fairly sharp even against difficult opposition. They tend to be more productive at home: before the Europa League draw, they had scored in 18 consecutive home matches.

Defensively, however, the problems are clear. They are conceding an average of 1.6 goals per game overall, and the league figure stands at 2.5. No other Premier League club has conceded more than Hapoel Kiryat Shmona in the league this season.
