The fourth round of the Premier League in football will close tonight (Monday) when Beitar Jerusalem will host Hapoel Jerusalem in Teddy Stadium for the big derby of the capital. The yellow-blacks want to leverage the 0:3 over Nes Ziona section, while the reds will also come after the 0:3 defeat of MS Ashdod.

Last season, the two teams met for the first time in over 20 years, after Hapoel Jerusalem returned to the Premier League. In the first meeting in the Toto Cup, the Reds won 0:1, but in the league games it was overwhelming in favor of the Beitars. In the first round the yellows won 0:3, in the second round the reds shared six foreigners and lost technically and in the lower playoff Richmond Boachi completed a series with 0:1 Beitar.
