Hapoel Tel Aviv lost to Hapoel Hadera in the previous round, thus seriously damaging its chances of being among the six teams participating in the top playoffs. Yossi Aboksis is looking for a first win in the second term in Red, Ojebolt and Altman in his attack in an attempt to cling to sixth place.
The fifth in the table is missing Khotaba and Azulai and Mavis Chibuta, who is not one hundred percent fit, is waiting on the bench.
