Derby has its own rules...
The place: Sami Ofer Stadium, Haifa • Time: Thursday 2/12/21, 20:30 • The framework: Round 11, the Premier Soccer League
Over the years it is customary to say that the biggest derby in Israel is in Tel Aviv. I am sorry to disappoint, the main place is in Haifa.
The two biggest clubs of the city of Carmel come from the top of the soccer league table.
Hapoel come after a 3-1 loss to Maccabi Tel Aviv, while Maccabi come after a 3-1 win over Hapoel Tel Aviv.
As the cliché says: "Derby has its own rules" - no matter what the location or what the squads are, on the grass anything can happen.
The stands will be controlled by the Greens, who are supposed to occupy about 26 seats, compared to the Red Nurse fans with about 4000.
Don't forget last year's violent events! It must not happen again! The opponent must stay on the grass and not outside.
On both sides of the fence there are veteran and senior coaches who will play chess with each other. Whoever is alert until the end will have the upper hand after the final whistle.
News in brief:
- Maccabi will miss Lavi Westrain.
- Hapoel will miss Alon Turgeman and Niso Kapiloto.
bet result:
Hapoel arrives without its great scorer, Turgeman, and this will make life easy for Palanich, who is also above the league. Maccabi arrives after it knows that only a streak of victories will make it its top of the table, and it must not let it escape. At the moment the green is behind by 2 points from BSH.
It will be hot, even and tense, but in the end, the quality of the champion will decide and it will end in 2:0 green.
I'm a fan of Maccabi Haifa. Happy Hanukkah
