The 25th round of the Stock Exchange League continues at this time with the meeting between Kiryat Shmona and Maccabi Tel Aviv. After completing the turnaround in the table and rising to first place, the Yellows want to temporarily increase the gap at the top and from Maccabi Haifa to four points with another victory.
With Patrick Van Leven on the lines, the visitors have a great time and have not lost points since the 0-0 draw with Bnei Yehuda on January 7. In the last round, Maccabi Tel Aviv recorded a great game and defeated Beitar Jerusalem 1: 4. Even earlier, they recorded 1: 3 on MS. Ashdod and then 0: 2 away against Hapoel Haifa. Now, the goal is to widen the gap and put pressure on Maccabi Haifa in the battle for the championship.
On the other side of the contest, Kiryat Shmona arrives for the meeting after two consecutive victories and hopes to surprise in order to get closer to securing a place in the top playoff. The northerners of Kobi Refuah defeated Bnei Sakhnin 0: 2 away and recorded 1: 2 over Maccabi Petah Tikva in a rematch at home.
In the game between the two teams in the first round, Maccabi Tel Aviv won 0: 1 in Bloomfield thanks to an 11-yard free kick by Matan Hozaz in extra time. Subsequently, the professional committee of the Judges’ Union ruled that Kiryat Shmona was deprived because the penalty was unjustified.
