The ninth round of the Premier League continues at this time, when Hapoel Haifa, which is deteriorating with Nir Klinger on the lines, will host in Sami Ofer the newcomer Ironi Nes Ziona, which is in last place and will try to score important points against the Reds from Carmel.
The Reds from Carmel are not quiet. Despite the massive purchase and the arrival of players like Eliel Peretz and Hatem Abdelhamid, the team looks very bad, Nir Klinger’s position continues to be shaken, as it has not won since last August and has already counted seven consecutive games without a victory.
The Oranges also have a lot of headaches, mainly due to the fact that they finished the eighth round in last place with only a single victory, similar to their opponent tonight, when they are looking for a victory in order to get out of last place.
In terms of the past meetings between the teams, in the last three meetings between the two clubs, Hapoel Haifa came out on top in two meetings, while Seksia Nes Ziona won only once.
Just before the game, during the warm-up, a Hapoel Haifa fan called for captain Dor Melol to come up to the stands, and right after going down to the dressing room, Melol verbally confronted the fan and Gal Aral was the one who took him aside.
