The 17th round of the Stock Exchange League opens at this time at the Sami Ofer Stadium, with a game of great significance for the continuation of the struggles for the place in the top playoff, with Hapoel Haifa hosting Maccabi Petah Tikva.
The Reds from Carmel did return from a 2: 0 deficit to 2: 2 away against Hapoel Tel Aviv in the previous round, but in practice they lost 2 precious points. Despite this, they know that a victory over the rival from the Malabes will narrow the gap from them to only 3 points and completely open the boiling battle over the opening six.
On the other hand, Guy Luzon’s team proved in the last round, for the umpteenth time, that the fact that its staff is very young does not really indicate the character, and after falling behind in the top flight against MS Ashdod, it completed a big turnaround with a goal by Liel Abda in the minute. -90. The visitors aim to continue the momentum and achieve a victory that will bring them back, at least temporarily, to third place, and along the way, also take a very big step towards securing a place in the top playoffs.
In the previous round, when the two teams met on the grass at the Moshava Stadium in Petah Tikva, it was the blue team that celebrated with a 0: 2 victory thanks to goals from Orr Inbrom and Thai Baribo, in a game in which the Malabuses played from the 31st minute with 10 players.
