Hapoel Hadera will meet Maccabi Netanya this coming Saturday, perhaps the team in the best form in the league, and will try to stop the gallop of Ran Kozhuk’s team. Jonathan Cissa, who is suffering from knee pain, is not training and is expected to be absent from Saturday’s game against the Diamonds. This is a blow as Tarek Boshank was sent off. Robbie Lebkovic is also in doubt for the match due to the injury he is suffering from and may be rested on Saturday.
As a reminder, the stadium in Netanya is used as Hapoel Hadera’s home stadium and due to the short distance, the team’s players and staff members arrive at the stadium in their private vehicles. However, recently, the parking lot at the stadium is undergoing a facelift and in the room they claim that the management of Netanya made it clear to them that they will not be able to park near the stadium and will have to find alternative parking.
In Hadera, they wanted to avoid inconvenience and hassle in finding parking for the players and the professional staff and decided to rent a bus with which they would arrive at the game. At first they were angry in the room and thought it was tension between the clubs, but it was made clear to them that it had nothing to do with it, which calmed the spirits.
