Knowing that three points will move her to the top of the table for the first time this season, Maccabi Tel Aviv hosts at this time (Monday at 8:45 p.m.) Betar Jerusalem and hope to achieve a ninth consecutive victory in a game that will close the 24th round. On the other hand, any result other than a victory will almost completely eliminate the team from the capital to qualify for the top playoffs. He was followed by Georges Donis Potter and was replaced by Patrick Ann Leven who scored 11 wins in 12 games.
Injured Eden Kartzev and Yonatan Cohen will continue to be absent from the ranks of Maccabi Tel Aviv, which will also miss Dan Glazer, who suffers from abdominal muscle pain, as well as striker Alexander Peshich, who is finishing in isolation. Van Leven made quite a few changes from the team that defeated Hapoel Haifa: Andre Geralds, Luis Hernandez and Enrique Sborit returned to the defense. Sharan Yeni opened in the center of the field at the expense of the dismissed Shahar Phiben and in the attack will be Matan Hozaz, Odardo Guerrero and Itai Schechter who has not scored since the second round. Avi Rikan, Dan Bitton, Tal Ben Haim and Nick Blackman will be waiting on the bench.
In Betar, on the other hand, Tal Ben Haim recovered from an eye injury and opened in the center of defense alongside Or Zehavi. Eliran Atar and Jordan Shua will try to embarrass the best defense in the league, which has conceded just four goals in the last 13 rounds. On the other hand, Michael Ohana is only on the bench for Drapich and Barda.
Before the game, the Yellows’ contact, Dor Peretz, received the Outstanding Player of the Month award in February in the Premier League.
