Tonight (Saturday), Hapoel Hadera hosts Kiryat Shmona in the 19th round of the Premier League. Slobodan Drapic’s team is in fifth place in the table, while the opponent is in tenth place, but only two points separate the two. The guest missed a victory in the previous round against Betar Jerusalem when they finished 2-2, and wants to return to the winning track. The locals, on the other hand, arrive after the victory over Ashdod in the last round and hope to continue the momentum.
Maxim Flakushchenko, who last week talked about his possible transfer to the Hungarian league, started in the 11th of Menachem Koretzky, when in the attack Shoval Gozlan returned to the squad after the duo to the Ashdod network at the expense of the injured Steven Alfred. On the other hand, Drapich made one change from the previous round, with Ovidio Bick opening the link at the expense of Nadav Nidam. Ziv Morgan, who was on trial during the week and was not removed – is also opening.
Maxim Flakushchenko made it 0-1 for Hapoel Hadera in the 16th minute, with a wonderful goal with a free kick.
