Our prediction for the match Maccabi Tel Aviv – Maccabi Bnei Reineh
For Maccabi Tel Aviv, the title defense has not been going smoothly. After 21 rounds of the national league, the team has accumulated 39 points, placing it fourth in the standings. With 11 points separating them from the 7th place and the relegation group, and only 5 rounds left before the end of the regular season, their participation in the championship top six is almost guaranteed. However, the gap from the leader is already 9 points. In the Israel State Cup, the club has reached the semifinals, where they will face Maccabi Haifa. The team also participated in the Europa League, but managed to earn only 1 point in 8 rounds, which was apparently not enough to qualify for the playoffs.
