Maccabi Netanya and Hapoel Haifa, two teams with similar tendencies, meet today (Saturday) at the Netanya Stadium in the game that opens the 24th round of the Premier League. Both teams suffer from missing squads: Aviv Avraham is suspended and Joel Abu Hana and Eitan Azoulai are injured at Netanya.

A victory for Netanya will keep their hopes of the top playoffs alive for them. The guest won the previous two games this season, one in the league AndOne in the Toto Cup.
