The second round of the Premier League will open on Saturday when Hapoel Tel Aviv will host Hapoel Haifa in Romema (20:30).
After the unexpected home loss to Bnei Herzliya in the opening round, Danny Franco's team will try to achieve a first victory in the new season.
The Reds from Carmel also want to recover from the defeat to Maccabi Tel Aviv at Menora Mivtachim Hall, and will hope to see improved ability from Gregory Vargas who arrived with high expectations, and so far has difficulty restoring his high ability from previous terms in Israel.
On Sunday, the round will continue with three more games: Hapoel Eilat will return after the European Cup victory to meet Bnei Herzliya in the Jubilee Hall (18:00), Urbani Ness Ziona at the start of a terrible season will host the hot Hapoel Holon (19:55), and runner-up Gilboa / Galil will host In Gan Ner, the champion Maccabi Tel Aviv in the final reconstruction of last season (21:00).
The round will close on Monday with two games: Maccabi Rishon LeZion - Hapoel Galil Elyon (19:30), Hapoel Jerusalem - Hapoel B'Shlosha (20:30).
