Any result other than a victory against Hapoel Jerusalem could take Hapoel Tel Aviv out of the battle for one of the places in the top playoff.
"I expect two critical games, but at the moment our goal is to beat Hapoel Jerusalem, which is a good team that is fighting for its life," said coach Kobi Refuah.
At a press conference ahead of the game (Saturday, 19:50), Refuah referred to his team's chances of qualifying for the top playoffs and said: "We lost precious points against BS because the game was already in our hands. Things are still up for Hapoel Tel Aviv and we will do everything to be in the playoffs "
On the parting from Sianda Kolo, Refuah said: "What Kolo did that he left the team on his own is an act he will not do. He does not deserve to be at Hapoel Tel Aviv, and any player who would do such a thing no matter who the player is, should not be at Hapoel Tel Aviv and that What we decided.
We are dealing with what we have on the staff. "
