The star of Maccabi Haifa has not scored or made an assist in five consecutive league rounds • Hapoel Haifa will fight for the derby until the end • Maccabi Tel Aviv must not stumble at home • And the people who lead Netanya and MS Ashdod to a tremendous season


A goal, a victory.

Omar Atzili has not scored or made an assist in five consecutive league rounds.

This is the longest streak of a Maccabi Haifa top scorer in the last two years without any significant statistical data.

The balance of the greens in these games: two wins, two losses and a draw.

In the previous round, Atzili missed a penalty against Beitar Jerusalem and in Monday's derby he will return to the lineup. If his numbers return, Maccabi Haifa will probably win as well.

Unless a miracle happens, Hapoel Haifa will finish the league in the lower playoffs.

Every game will be like a nightmare, just to pass the time until the break.

The derby on Monday is the only goal that still remains on the red side of Carmel.

Victory over Maccabi and the return of the city's honor are the only thing left for Roni Levy and his players to play for.

The fortress in Jaffa.

Bloomfield Stadium is Maccabi Tel Aviv's best weapon this season. So far, the Yellows have not lost a single league game there, and their success rate is around 85%.

Maccabi must not stumble on Saturday against Hapoel Jerusalem, a second before the head-to-head battles they will have in the top playoffs.

If their fortress does the job in the next cycle as well and Karanka's team takes the points - they can keep their fingers crossed for Maccabi Haifa to stumble in the derby, so that the championship fight will be fully opened.

Kozhuk style.

If there is a team that deserves to be in the top playoffs besides the top three - it is of course Maccabi Netanya.

The Diamonds scored 21 points in this round while beating Maccabi Tel Aviv, finishing with a tie in Turner, and along the way they also managed to knock Maccabi Haifa out of the cup.

Ran Kozhuk managed to bring the joy of life back to the Yellows, their football is attractive, and a victory over KS City will officially secure him a place in the top playoffs and maybe also fantasize about Back to Back to the Conference League.

The diamond is cute.

If all goes as planned, M.S.

Ashdod will make quite a bit of money for its diamond, Mohammed Canaan, which is supposed to be sold to Europe in the summer.

The midfielder has nine goals this season in all competitions - five in the league and another four in the cup.

Kanaan can score more, but what is amazing is that in all nine games in which he scored, his team did not lose.

So his goal against Sakhnin could be worth a lot of money to old Jacky Ben-Zakan, in the near-distant future - it will make it possible to reach the top playoffs, or from a future sale of the 23-year-old jewel.

Sweet Canaan.
