City of Tiberias - Maccabi Petah Tikva 0:0
Maccabi Petah Tikva closed the first round with a 3:0 home defeat against Tiberias, which was part of the five-game losing streak that led to the shock.
Since then, the leader has recovered with Bnei Lam and now wants to extend the winning streak to seven in order to enter the playoffs from first place and with a nine-point advantage over third place.
Tal Ben Haim is supposed to return after an illness and the team hopes that Idan Toklomati will also be fit after he was replaced early in the 3:1 against Hapoel Acre, where he managed to score his 11th goal.
Maor Levy and Jordan Cohen are still injured.
The host is also in a good period (three consecutive wins and six games without a loss) and has conceded only eight goals in home games - less than any other team.
More in Walla!

Hapoel Petah Tikva - Hapoel Umm Al Fachem 0:1
Two more teams that recovered on Monday after a pair of games without a win and expect to be in the Premier League at the end of the season.
Hapoel Petah Tikva waited for the final seconds of extra time to win 1:2 in Afula (for the seventh time this season with a winning goal scored in the last quarter of an hour) and wants to maintain second place for the playoffs, while Umm Al Fahem lags behind by six points and knows that this may be the last chance. When she lost and didn't score in her three games this season against Petah Tikva's representation.
The host also won the last three meetings between the teams and in this game they will get back Matan Peleg who has recovered from the injury and is expected to start.
Jimmy Alexis who was injured against Afula will also be in the squad and the only absentee will be Idan Shemesh, who returned to training but will not be included in the squad yet.
Minute 5: Goal!
Ofek Osher received the ball in the box and kicked flat to the far corner, 0:1 to Hapoel Petah Tikva.
Hapoel Acre - Hapoel Afula 0:0
The first home loss of the season prevented Afola from securing a place in the top playoffs, although they are still in the top eight, dependent on themselves and ahead of Hapoel Kfar Saba by seven goals, in case the tie between them is maintained.
Hapoel Acre is already confident in the playoffs and wants to enter it from fifth place, although it won only one of the last five home games and failed to beat Afula in the last four meetings (a home loss, then three draws).

Maccabi Ahi Nazareth - Bnei Yehuda 0:0
Last season, the Oranges made it to the top playoffs only thanks to a dramatic penalty by Mikko Meman from Hapoel Ramat Gan that made it 1:1 in overtime of the 30th round against Hapoel Rishon Lezion.
This time too, Bnei Yehuda is under pressure in the final round of the regular season, but it is one point ahead of Afula and Kfar Saba, and meets an opponent it has lost to only once in history (2:0 at home in the Premier League in April 2004).
Ahi Nazareth broke a streak of five losses with a critical 0:2 in Kfar Saba and Eldad Shavit remained in the position of coach despite everything, but the team is still only three points above the 14th place leading to the tests.

Hapoel Nir Ramat Hasharon - Hapoel Kfar Saba 1:0
Despite the kick in the bucket with the home loss to Achi Nazareth in the previous cycle, Hapoel Kfar Saba still has the possibility of getting into the top eight.
The Greens need a win at the Lod Stadium along with a stumble by one of the two teams that are ahead of them, or even a draw along with a loss by Afula.
Haim Shabu returned to stand on the lines and led Ramat Hasharon to a great victory over Jaffa in the previous round, but the team is still close to the tests and needs more points.
In the first round, Ramat Hasharon won 2:3 in Kfar Saba thanks to a goal by Roi Har in the 98th minute.
4th minute: Goal!
Yoel Abuhchira hit the crossbar and in and made it 0:1 early for Hapoel Kfar Saba.
Hapoel Rishon Lezion - Maccabi Cavillio Jaffa 0:0
Another team that is afraid of the 14th place is Hapoel Rishon Lezion, who last season lost eighth place at the last moment and collapsed until the tests, where they barely survived.
The Oranges did not win in the last eight rounds, but beat Jaffa 0:1 in the first round and hope to take advantage of the guest's calmness in the top playoffs.
In its last six games, Jaffa had three victories in which it scored fourth, and on the other hand three losses.
Hapoel Ramat Gan - M.S.
Kfar Kasem 0:0
A critical bottom battle between two teams that have experienced improvement recently.
Hapoel Ramat Gan did lose 2:0 at Umm Al Fahem, but before that it achieved three consecutive 0:1 victories and is a point ahead of Kfar Qasem, which has accumulated seven points and has not conceded in the last three rounds.
In the first round, Tomer Kashtan's team won 2:2 in the 96th minute and last season won 0:1 in Ramat Gan.
Hapoel Nof HaGilil - Hapoel Adumim Ashdod 0:1
The first relegation to League A can bring Nof HaGalil closer to becoming the second relegation.
Moti Iyonir's team scored a painful five from Bnei Yehuda and a total of 15 goals in four consecutive losses, and is already eight points behind Kfar Kasem.
In order to enter the lower playoffs with a reasonable chance of being saved, Nof HaGalil must win against the leader of the table who was officially relegated in the previous round, she is also on a streak of four losses (and 11 games without a win) and is the only one who did not win away from home this season (only three points).
The yellowed Neri Kahinda and the suspended Alon Ginat will be missing for the host, while on the other hand Ashdod is without David Hoja who saw red in the loss to Tiberias.
11th minute: Goal!
Genia Berkman's accurate penalty made it 0:1 for Naf HaGalil.
