After a national team break, the Premier League is finally back to its final straight with the struggles in all sectors completely open. Maccabi Netanya, which is looking for a place in Europe, is currently hosting Maccabi Tel Aviv, which is still dreaming of a championship, as part of the 28th round.
Bnei Lem’s team, which was in a dream period and counted 14 consecutive league games without a loss, suffered a painful 4: 1 in the last round from Hapoel BS away and is trying to recover at this time and achieve very important points, with the battle for a place in Europe opener than ever.
On the other hand, Mladen Krastic’s team lost valuable points in the previous round in the battle for the championship when they finished in a disappointing 0-0 draw against Bnei Sakhnin, after having tremendous momentum that includes seven consecutive league victories. Maccabi Tel Aviv knows that its victory will leave them in the race for the championship when they can reduce the gap to only five points from the summit just before the season game between the leader Maccabi Haifa and second-placed Hapoel B’Shlosha, while a loss will almost completely eliminate their chances.
The two teams met twice this season when the Yellows from Tel Aviv still failed to beat the Diamonds. In the first game, which was also Bnei Lam’s first game on the lines, Netanya beat Maccabi with a big 2: 4 and the second meeting ended in 2: 2. How will it end this time?
