Hapoel Jerusalem host Hapoel Tel Aviv in the playoff semifinals. The cup holders are looking for a third consecutive league win over Dani Franco's side.

Aleksandar Dzikić made a change to the squad ahead of the match with Marquez Meiris preferred over Sim Sander Venna. The guest is accompanied by 1,500 fans who came to the Arena. The two teams have met four times this season: the first game at the Arena, the quarterfinals of the State Cup and then two more games, all at the Solomon Arena.
