Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Hapoel Tel Aviv & Bnei Yehuda face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the State Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
