The managers S. Drapić and V. Ivić are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Ligat ha'Al league table.
The visiting Maccabi Tel Aviv played their last game only four days ago, a State Cup match. That game was also an away game, at Bnei Yehuda. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary. That match was played in the comfort of their own home stadium, hosting Bnei Yehuda. There's been little rest and some travel, but Maccabi Tel Aviv will do their best.
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
