After the green 1: 5 in the first round, the two Haifa women – Hapoel and Maccabi – now meet in the 24th round of the Premier League. Apart from the urban prestige, the two of course have very important goals when Maccabi ran for the championship and leads the table, while Hapoel is still somehow trying to make it to the top playoffs even though it seems like a task close to being lost. The guest Maccabi Haifa arrives very encouraging after beating Hapoel Tel Aviv 0: 2 in the last round and opened a gap of four points at the top, while Hapoel Haifa looked good against Maccabi Tel Aviv, but in the end lost 2: 0.
Maccabi Haifa is missing the yellowed Muhammad Abu Fani and the one who got the place at his expense in the squad is Charon Shari, who scored as a substitute against Hapoel Tel Aviv. Neta Lavie was preferred over Jose Rodriguez, Mikael Alphonse kept his place in the 11th and San Menachem inside as well. On the red side Elisha Levy is missing the yellowed Isochuko Anthony and Nisso Capiloto has been developing in the squad for the first time in a long time. Noam Cohen started as a left-back at the expense of Dudi Toito, who was ill with the flu during the week.
Before the game, a resident of the central area was arrested for attacking a fan of the opposing team during a brawl, and a resident of Nesher was arrested on suspicion of throwing a torch outside the stadium. Police seized two IDF smoke grenades, fireworks and another torch in his vehicle.
