Hapoel Tel Aviv hosts Hapoel Jerusalem tonight (Saturday) in the main game of the 26th round of the Premier League.
The team from the capital has already won the Drive-In twice this season, and if they do so in the third, they will reduce the distance between the teams to one game and leave themselves a chance to reach the playoffs from second place, something that will give them a home advantage in a potential semi-final series against the Tel Avivians, if both teams get there.
Coach Aleksandar Džikić did not register Sim-Sander Vena and Speedy Smith for the game, hoping to gain positive momentum towards the Final Four of the Champions League.
On the other hand, in addition to Idan Zalmanson who apparently ended the season due to a broken thumb, Jaylen Hurd and James Paladin remained outside the Tel Aviv Reds' squad.
