Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Maccabi Petah Tikva - Hapoel Ramat Gan!
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Liga Leumit match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Bnei Sakhnin.
