Maccabi Tel Aviv will travel to Doha Stadium to play Bnei Sakhnin for a Matchday Six clash this evening at 21:00. The Yellow & Blue find themselves in first place following four matches and are interested in staying there after their visit to Sakhnin.
Oscar Scarione who is recovering from a short illness is back and available for Shota Arveladze’s side for this important contest: “I feel good. I had a virus but I’m better now. We prepare for each and every match individually and just like any other league match it won’t be easy. We’ve been training and preparing very hard.”
Last season’s extracurricular activities at Sakhnin:
“I heard that some things went on last season, but I understood that it’s behind everybody at this point.”
On the busy week ahead:
“We are training every day and we’re used to having a busy schedule. After 90 minutes our muscles can definitely cramp up, but the rotation of players in the lineup is exactly for that reason.”
Being in first place:
“It’s great that we are in first place and I didn’t realize that Beer Sheva had lost because I am so focussed on Maccabi and the next match that we have to play.”
