Midfielder Dan Einbinder is raring to go ahead of tonight's encounter against second-place Hapoel Beer Sheva
Everything is ready for tonight's 8.55pm kick-off at Bloomfield Stadium against Maccabi Tel Aviv's nearest title rival, Hapoel Beer Sheva, who sit just five points off the pace. Many of the players remember a similar situation last year, when the two clubs met in the play-offs at Bloomfield and a Maccabi victory stretched their lead from five points to eight to help pave the way to their second straight championship.

"The leading team facing number two is always a 'match of the season'", says Dan Einbinder, who was in the first eleven for Maccabi's season 2013/14 triumph. "It's a match both sides want to win. I believe we've prepared ourselves as best we can and are ready to go out there and win".
As for tomorrow night's difficult rivals the midfielder commented: "Beer Sheva have done great things, last year and this one. They're having a great season but we've only to look after ourselves. We try to work hard, study our rivals and be as prepared for the match as we possibly can. We want to win and that's what we'll be after when we go out there tonight".
"We have to play our game. We're at Bloomfield, our home turf with our fans, and we have to hit the ground running, be hungrier and of course be in our best form and win the match".
Einbinder also had a word to say about the support the players get from the fans: "I'm sure Bloomfield will be packed and noisy as always. Our fans come to every match at every venue to support us, especially at Bloomfield, so I'm sure the atmosphere will be fantastic. All we have to do is make it even better out on the pitch".
