An important duel in the bottom section of the Liga Leumit, with both Hapoel Ra'anana and Hapoel Umm al-Fahm experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 11th and the visitors in 13th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
For Ra'anana relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. al-Fahm are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.
