Hapoel Tel Aviv scored six points, which will host Maccabi Petah Tikva tonight, in its last four games.
This is a 50 percent success rate, and the club believes that this is the effect of the team's revolution in January with the arrival of seven new players.
By comparison, by the time the Purchases arrived, the Reds had accumulated 10 points in 15 games, which is only 22.2%.
Or in other words - a figure of a team that is relegated.
"Overall we have seen an improvement since the new players arrived, and we are accumulating more points," Hapoel said, adding: "But we need to win and get away from the red line as quickly as possible."
Raz Stein, who made his debut in a draw against Hapoel Hadera, practiced in concluding training with the team and is expected to start in place of Shlomi Azulai.
In defense there is a dilemma between Raz Shlomo and Sianda Kolo.
Iyad Abu Abid, who is in solitary confinement after being infected with Koruna, will miss the game.
Shai Elias finished the isolation, but is not supposed to play.
In Petah Tikva, which wants to secure its place in the top playoffs in the coming rounds, it seems that coach Guy Luzon will let striker Juicy Lupta start in the squad despite attempts to transfer him to Bnei Yehuda.
