"We knew that the war on staying would be until the end. We hope we will end it as soon as possible," said Betar Jerusalem this morning (Sunday), which came out frustrated from the loss to Hapoel Hadera, after it dominated and was the better team.
The Black Yellows are now embarking on a series of three difficult games against Bnei Sakhnin, Maccabi Tel Aviv, and Maccabi Haifa, so the upcoming game has become critical for the Jerusalemites.
"We have to get to the playoffs with more points, we will have to beat Sakhnin," they said in the capital.

The team hopes that midfielder Niv Zrihan, who was absent from the pitches for three months due to an injury to his side, could be fit to play against Sakhnin and be included in the squad, which will give the professional team more options on offense.
Contact Tamir Adi will miss the game against Bnei Sakhnin due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while Jordan Shua will return from a distance.
Captain Ophir Krieff was slightly injured in the game against Hadera and his fitness will become clear in the coming days.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
