The Beitar Jerusalem & Maccabi Haifa managers R. Levy and M. Balbul are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Ligat ha'Al league table.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
