Maccabi Tel Aviv can at least temporarily increase its advantage at the top of the Premier League to 10 points, if it beats Bnei Sakhnin in the first round of the top playoffs. In the previous meeting between the teams, which was also held in Bloomfield a little over a month ago, Younes Melda scored a dramatic 1:1 and saved the leader of the table from a loss.

The brakeman returned to the center of the defense and the midfielder returned as a right defender, David on the wing of Cain.
