Great vigilance in MS.
Ashdod ahead of Saturday's game (7:30 p.m., Sport 2) against Maccabi Haifa, where Ran Ben's team must not lose, if they want to stay in the picture of the fight for the top playoffs.
Timothy Avani and Mogis Zakaria, who missed the last game against Beitar Yam, returned to training and are fit to compete.
Coach Ran Ben Shimon said before the game: "It's hard to clean up the surroundings because Maccabi Haifa coming is an event here in Ashdod, but we have our professional goals, which are to reach the top playoffs, and in order to reach the top playoffs we need to win. We only concentrate on the game and let the team get busy in things around".
The coach added: "Every game is critical until the end of the season. Of course it's critical from a sporting point of view, we shouldn't exaggerate, and we have to come prepared to win. These are two teams that always come to play football and it should be interesting because if so many fans come from both Ashdod and Haifa, So that they can see good football."

Captain Yoav Jarafi concluded: "The madness is palpable, the tickets are sold out, everyone is waiting for this game. As far as we are concerned, we are coming to take the points. This is another game on the way to our goal, the top playoffs, which is the hope and what we expect from ourselves and we will have to go through such games as well. There are 6 Or 7 teams fighting for 3 places in the playoffs, so all the important games. I believe that if we beat Maccabi Haifa things will depend on us, but first we will concentrate on ourselves and then we will see what the other results are."
