The Winner League continues tonight (Wednesday) with three games between teams in similar areas of the table: Bnei Herzliya hosts Urbani Nahariya for a bottom battle, Hapoel Haifa will try to continue the momentum from the derby victory in a home game against Hapoel Beer Sheva, and Maccabi Rishon Lezion and Hapoel Gilboa / Galil will try Improve positions at the top of the table.
Bnei Herzliya – Urban Nahariya
Sharon Drucker’s team has finally arrived for the season with a debut victory, hoping to put together a second consecutive victory – thus producing for itself some superiority over its bottom rivals. On the other hand, Shai Saglovitch made an unsuccessful debut when he lost at home to Hapoel Eilat. He will now seek his first victory as a coach in the Premier League against a team that holds the same balance as his own – 7: 1.
Hapoel Haifa – Hapoel Beer Sheva (20:35)
The Reds are in a great mood after the derby victory and will now hope to continue the momentum against a team that may fight with them for the playoff spot. In Haifa, there is great satisfaction from Jason Seagers, who at the age of 35 and a half sets his highest career averages, as well as from Karem Mashur, who has scored double digits in the last four games.
Beer Sheva, which started the season great, is in negative momentum with four consecutive losses in all competitions – with the lack of Caleb Agada particularly noticeable. Also tonight, the excellent Nigerian guard is not on the squad due to a hip injury, with Dominic Waters being the fourth foreigner alongside James Banks, Eric Griffin and Amir Bell. Christian Cunningham did not register either.
Maccabi Rishon Lezion – Gilboa / Galil (21:00)
A meeting between two teams that advanced to the quarterfinals of the cup that awaits them around the corner. The former are pleased with the good ability of the team’s highs: Daryl Monroe (who almost finished with a triple double against Be’er Sheva in the cup), Achilles Mitchell and Noam Avivi, who establishes himself this season as one of the most promising highs in the league. Gilboa (balance 2: 6) is still strong at the top, but after the loss to Nes Ziona – knows that another loss will keep it away from the leading group.
