ahead of the game, "We want to get on the field, show good ability and achieve the result we expect at the end."
"Haifa is currently the team in first place, it is a team that needs to be challenged - and we need to challenge ourselves as well," he added. "The season is still long, we have a good staff and we expect to see everyone in action as soon as possible. There is another long season ahead and we want to challenge. Ourselves in every game. "

Tal Ben Haim
said: "When first and second place meet it is a game of the season, everyone is waiting for it. The best teams in the league against each other. Although there is no crowd there is some satisfaction from the fact that we play at home because it is always fun to play on our home field. It is worthwhile that they have accumulated more points, but are confident in ourselves and come to do the job.
"I really like these games. It's not another game, like Derby is no longer a game. Everything happens with a reason and what needs to happen happens, I'm sure if I keep doing things like that then it's going to be okay.
