Yoav Katz Worried. A day after Maccabi Haifa announced that its fans had snatched all the tickets for the Haifa derby in a week and a half, Baali Hapoel Haifa fears that his team will feel like in an away game at the Sami Ofer Stadium. “I hope that Maccabi Haifa fans will not take over the seats of Hapoel Haifa fans and the whole stadium will be with Maccabi Haifa fans,” he said.
But even before the derby, Hapoel Haifa expects a meeting with Maccabi Tel Aviv, whose fans have already bought about 2,000 tickets. “We have 2,000 subscribers and I expect at least another 3,000 Hapoel Haifa fans to buy tickets, which we will have about 5,000 fans,” said Katz.
Hapoel Haifa, which is in third place with 17 points, just like its city rival, wants to get to the derby as close to the top as possible. On the meeting itself with Maccabi Tel Aviv, Katz said: “This is a key game for us for the rest of the season and we owe the support of the crowd, it is a test for him.”
