Four days before Wednesday’s top of the table clash against Maccabi Haifa, Maccabi recorded an important victory over Maccabi Netanya on Saturday. 

Dor Peretz, will be sidelined from the match as the 25midfielder will serve a one-match touchline-ban said shortly after scoring one of the goals in the 3-1 victory over Netanya. “It will be tough to watch my teammates from the stands especially at such a match, but I full trust them to do the job”, Peretz said after the game. “It was freezing on the pitch tonight, one of the coldest matches I ever played in but what managed to warm our hearts was our performance especially during 75-80 minutes. We were ready, committed and did what we had to do. The goal was only a little added bonus to a great team effort”.
