Will Maccabi Petah Tikva be relegated to the National League tonight (Sunday) for the third time in a decade or will the decision at the bottom be postponed to the final round of the lower playoffs? The Malabes come into a direct battle with Teddy against Hapoel Jerusalem, who in contrast won in the previous round and opened a gap of three points from the red line. The visitors are counting six rounds without a win and a draw will also leave them deep in the mud for next week, while the Jerusalemites have won only one of the last seven home games and have not won in the previous three.
Alujao returned from a distance to the lineup of Ziv Arieh, who preferred Eduardo Guerrero over Ruslan Bersky. Omar Golan got Eddie Mahramitch back after the Yellows’ penalty and continued with Yinon Eliyahu and Yarden Cohen as the defending duo. Ion Nikolasco will return to conquer?
Hapoel Jerusalem: Adbayo Adlay, Aluji Yao, Onzej Bacho, Gal Mayo, Harel Shalom, Goni Naor, Awka Ashta, Guy Hadida, Guy Badash, Eduardo Guerrero, William Agada.
The composition of Maccabi Petah Tikva: Arik Janko, Yinon Eliyahu, Eddie Mahramitch, Marcus Deniz, Yarden Cohen, Yoav Hoffmeister, Ido Shachar, Arad Bar, Lamek Benda, Abubaker Dombia, Ion Nikolasco.
