Ben Chaim, who scored on his last visit to Ashdod during a 2-1 victory for Maccabi back in August 2016, said: “It is always difficult yo play in Ashdod, we are preparing in the best possible way and travel down in a bid to return with a victory. Whether they have a good season or a poor one it is always difficult to play against them in Ashdod. We will prepare in the best possible way in order to travel down there and win the match”.
