The 29th round of the Premier League continues at this time as Maccabi Netanya hosts Hapoel Jerusalem at home for the third game in the top playoff. Both teams, who are in negative momentum, are looking for a first win in the top playoffs to help them in the fight for fourth place.
Ran Kozhuk’s men came into the match in very bad form with four consecutive games without a win, with the last three ending in defeat. In the first game in the top playoffs they lost 2:0 to Maccabi Tel Aviv, and last Saturday MS Ashdod beat them 3:2. The team will be missing Boris Ino today who is suspended due to yellow cards.
On the other side, Ziv Aryeh’s team came to the game also in poor form, with three consecutive losses in the league that ended with zero goals scored. In the first game of the top playoff, she lost 1:0 to Hapoel Beer Sheva, and last Saturday she lost 2:0 to Maccabi Tel Aviv. For Jerusalem, the one suspended from the game is Amit Glazer, who received a red against Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The two teams managed to beat each other this season in both meetings, when in the first game that took place in Netanya the Jerusalemites came out with the upper hand when they won 0:2, and in the second game that took place at Teddy Diamonds they managed to win with a similar result.
