The moment we've all been waiting for: The final fixture schedule for this season's top-six playoff
Maccabi Tel Aviv still have one more pre-playoff encounter to play this season, tomorrow night against Hapoel Petach Tikva. But win or lose, Maccabi's season 2014/15 top-six playoff campaign is already in place. This coming Sunday Maccabi will play their first of two consecutive play-off ties at Bloomfield Stadium. Their opponents: Maccabi Haifa, with ex-Maccabi Tel Aviv star striker Eliran Atar. A week later Maccabi's guests will be no less intimidating, second-placed Hapoel Beer Sheva.
Sound intriguing? Just wait. The following week Maccabi head north to play third-placed Ironi Kiryat Shmona, followed by Beitar Jerusalem (home) and Maccabi Petach Tikva (away).
After a short break at "Teddy" Stadium in Jerusalem on April 29th to face second division side Ahi Nazareth in the semi-finals of the prestigious Israeli State Cup, round two of the play-offs will begin with two away encounters against Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Beer Sheva. After that Maccabi return home, but only briefly, to face Ironi Kiryat Shmona, before returning to the capital to face Beitar Jerusalem. Maccabi's final match of the 2014/15 Israeli Premier ("Winner") League season will be at home against Maccabi Petach Tikva.
