Ironi Kiryat Shmona hosts Maccabi Tel Aviv this evening (Saturday) in a critical game for both teams. The Yellows must win to put pressure on the leading Maccabi Haifa, just before their top-flight meeting against Hapoel Beer Sheva. On the other hand, Nir Berkovich’s team is carrying the entire league on its back and its victory against the strong yellows will tie it with Hapoel Haifa and Bnei Rayna above it. Timo Mozi started in the hosts’ lineup and will try to help Itamar Shabiru in the work of conquests. On the other hand, Vladan Ivić, probably in his last league game as coach of the yellows, came up in a very attacking formation with Yonatan Cohen, Giagon, Kanikowski, Zahavi and Yovanović with only Dor Peretz functioning as a back midfielder. Maccabi Tel Aviv lost to Kiryat Shmona only once in the last 20 league meetings: 2:0 away in the top playoff in April 2021.
