At 20:30, Maccabi Haifa will host Maccabi Tel Aviv for what may be
its coronation game for the champion
, and also against the big rival.
Recall, following the penalty radius received by the Greens, the northern stand belonging to the cheering crowd is closed.
And in the southern stand sat fans of the two teams that a special network would separate.
Already now - hours for the opening whistle, hundreds of police and security guards are in the vicinity of the stadium to try to prevent fights between the two crowds, following intelligence information received in recent days about organized fights.
The event will be secured - about 400 police officers (including YSM police), detectives from the Haifa police, along with hundreds of security guards.
In addition, checkpoints were set up in the southern stand in order to prevent fans from breaking onto the lawn at the end of the game in case Maccabi Haifa promises a championship.
In the last few hours, complaints have been received about a number of speculators selling tickets at prices between NIS 1,000-5,000. The club will check if they are subscribers and if so, they will block them permanently.
At the professional level, coach Barak Bachar is still debating between Josh Cohen and Guy Mishpati, following the injury of Cohen, who is fit - but did not train during the week, so Bachar tends to start with Mishpati, the son of the beams.
Neta Lavie is currently the favorite of Ali Muhammad in the link position, but even in this case the decision will be made close to the game.
