In a meeting between two teams that recorded draw results in the return round of the Premier League from the World Cup break, Hapoel Jerusalem hosts today (Saturday, 17:30 on Sport1) Kiryat Shmona City and hopes to record its first victory since the 0:2 over Bnei Rayna before going into the break, after surrendering Maccabi Tel Aviv in the ranking games in the Toto Cup and was eliminated from the state cup with a loss to Maccabi Petah Tikva.
On the other hand, the northern team went through a shaky week with the parting with Menachem Koretsky and the controversial appointment of Nir Berkovich as their new coach, with the most urgent goal of all being to end the streak of 13 cycles without a win – the longest in the club’s history. In the first appearance on the lines, Berkovic returned to the lineup Noam Cohen who was recovering from an ankle injury. Hapoel Jerusalem with the 11 who started with a 0:0 against Hapoel Hadera.
