Maccabi Haifa play Maccabi Netanya in the quarterfinals of the State Cup. The Greens are looking for a win that will take them to the semi-finals and lift them up for the season's game in Bloomfield.
On the other hand, Netanya arrives in a dejected mood, after the dismissal of Guy Sarfati and the appointment of Marco Belbul, whose debut match in Netanya is played against his former team. Mahmoud Jaber, who was absent for a long time due to injury, started in the Haifa lineup, near Show. Kenny Seif himself got a place in the lineup and Eli Feingold started in a right back position.
