Hapoel Tel Aviv and Hapoel Kfar Saba meet at the Moshava Stadium as part of the opening round of the Premier League. The game was of course held without an audience in light of the Corona virus crisis that many were sure would end to this day but unfortunately for team fans, they will watch the game from home.
The Reds, who finished last year in the top playoffs, want to reach the top 6 again this year, despite the big changes made to the squad. Klinger chose to start with a five-man defense, with Eden Hershkovich, Niv Serdel, Armando Cooper and Ernest Shtakos making their league debut in the Tel Aviv uniform. At Kafas, Amir Turgeman chose to start with Or Dassah on offense alongside Omar Padidia and Kizito.
Compositions:
Hapoel Tel Aviv : Ernests Shtakus, Niv Serdel, Raz Shlomo, Iyad Abu Abid, Danny Grupper, Doron Leidner, Shai Eisen, Emanuel Boateng, Armando Cooper, Omri Altman and Eden Hershkovich.
Hapoel Kfar Saba: Itamar Israeli, Tom Shelach, Tal Makhlouf, Sudik Atanda, Aviv Solomon, George Pochiba, T-shirt Gethon, Ben Reichert, Or Dassah, Omer Padida and Kizito.
