In this 25th week match, on Saturday Mar 5th, Bnei Sakhnin will host Hapoel Hadera in a meeting of these two evenly matched Ligat ha’Al teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, which is great football weather. Bnei Sakhnin sits at 5th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against Beitar Jerusalem. Ante Puljić struck first for Bnei Sakhnin in the 15th minute, then in the 53rd minute, Ohana sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Gleofilo Vlijter earning Beitar Jerusalem at least a draw. Bnei Sakhnin is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches, while hapoel Hadera is fresh off their 1-4 loss against Maccabi Petah Tikva. Lameck Banda scored the first goal for Maccabi Petah Tikva in the 26th minute, then Allasana Doumbia added another in the 40th minute on a feed from Ion Nicolaescu. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Hapoel Hadera should be reasonably happy with their performance.
