After achieving a victory in the previous round and opening a gap from the bottom line, Betar Jerusalem is preparing for the game on Saturday, against Hapoel Hadera, which is expected to be attended by several thousand of the yellow and black fans.
Coach Yossi Aboksis referred to the opponent at a press conference and said: "Hadera almost every year reach the top playoffs or struggle to reach the top playoffs. It is difficult to play against them but we will have to be good and bring a good result from this game.
"We will have to show that our staff is of better quality than the other teams at the bottom, but we will have to prove it on the pitch. I told the players every game will be re-examined."
Striker Jordan Shua will be absent due to the red card he received in the previous game and Aboksis said of the player: "I was very disappointed with Jordan's red because it was three or four minute emotions. Sometimes too much you want and get excited you do nonsense and that's part of a young player's mistakes. "Jordan was a bit down, but we know his qualities and we will have to know how to get them out of him."

Asked about the separation process from Bnei Yehuda and the situation of the Oranges, Aboksis said: "The separation from Bnei Yehuda was mutual. The start of the season there was bad, then we came in first place and then again a month of bad results.
Barak and I felt that the energies in the group were not good and then he told me that Betar Jerusalem had approached him about me.
"Barak told me that another game or two we will have to make a shock if the results are not good. We made a lot of mistakes in Bnei Yehuda, there was a lot of pressure on Barak to fire me even before he stood on his hind legs, but then the story came from Betar, which is where I wanted To train in it.
I am in daily contact with Abramov and he is very hurt by the situation of Bnei Yehuda and I believe that the team will recover. "
Were we wrong?
