"We have an opportunity to take revenge on Sakhnin, which we did not beat this season, and to show that we are a better team," said Maccabi Tel Aviv striker Stifa Fritza ahead of tomorrow's game in Bloomfield (Saturday, 15:00).
Contact Dan Bitton, who was injured last week in the victory over Hapoel Hadera and needed stitches, is in doubt for the game, and it is possible that Eyal Golsa will receive the credit in his place in the starting lineup.
Coach Mladen Krestic also updated on Bitton's condition: "We've had a problem with Geralds lately. We'll see what happens with Bitton as well. He may not be on the squad. All the other players are ready for the game."
Towards the start of the playoffs, the coach added: "The regular season is over, a lot of people did not believe in the team and maybe also in this training team. We were 15 points behind when we arrived, now we are 6 points behind and 2 from second place. In the remaining 10 games we expect 10 derbies I do not want to stress the players.

"The most important game right now is the next game. I believe that Haifa and BS have more pressure on us, we want to enjoy football and get better from game to game.
As for what will happen at the end of the season, it remains to be seen. "
