Hapoel Ra'anana hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 20 points and a 12th position in the Liga Leumit table. Visiting Hapoel Rishon LeZion holds 6th place with 28 pts.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Liga Leumit. That game was an away game at Hapoel Afula, so at least Hapoel Ra'anana are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
