The match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa will be the fifth time the two meet this season, with the yellows winning all four previous encounters.
Dor Micha spoke about the matchup against the historical rival shortly before they meet at Sami Ofer Stadium. Micha talked about Maccabi’s good results against the greens in recent years: “Results are going in our favor against them in the last two seasons. Maccabi Tel Aviv against Maccabi Haifa is prestigious game that brings out a lot of emotions, regardless to the position in the table. I don’t think that we are favorites in this game, especially when it is played in Sami Ofer.

Micha spoke about the final run towards the league title: “It doesn’t matter if we win the title in this specific game. A game against Haifa is one of those games you that remind you why you love playing football. And that’s why we need to give it all we have. We want to play well in every game and we always look to improve. We didn’t play as well in the semi-final, which came after a good period, but it shouldn’t affect us ahead of the next game”.
