Maccabi Tel Aviv lost only twice this season within the league and it happened to them in both meetings with Maccabi Haifa. Today Robbie Cain and his players will try to return to the top at least temporarily when they host Bnei Sakhnin at Bloomfield Stadium.

Robbie Keane returned to the 4-3-3 formation, with the Angolan who returned from the African Championship placed on the left side. Enrique Savorit quickly recovered from the injury to the ankle ligaments and is collaborating in the center of the defense with Raz Shlomo, playing together for the first time.
