Maccabi Tel Aviv - Hapoel Petah Tikva
Just after one week these clubs meet again for another chance for Petah Tikva to get points on their battle for survivor in the league . Maccabi are playing poor football but managing to get the points from nowhere . They will be looking to extend their run of 17(!) matches without a lost in the league but It will be indeed difficult . Last week it ended 1:0 to Tel Aviv but this time manager Eli Cohen will have to face rough injury time in his club: Key defender
Shpugin as well as young midfielder
Peretz are injured and important full-back
Martinovic is suspended for this one . This is a major blow for their defence and I expect Petah Tikva to try to punish them with their pacey strikers . Petah Tikva players doesn't want to accept the fact they just are almost at the 2nd league and want to fight in every chance they get to keep up the pride . Key midfielder Idan
Srur got suspended for four games now and striker Saeed Makasi is injured but they got enough quality upfront like U19 Maor
Buzaglo or Moti Kakun to break the hosts down . The question is if they got enough confidence in themselves .
This is a tough bet but I'm quite sure Hapoel can find the way to upset Tel Aviv today . The (+0.5) HC option has alot of potential ,as draw can be here as well , but Im keeping it on the small stakes .
