Maccabi Tel Aviv expressed significant disappointment following their 0-0 draw against Bnei Sakhnin on Saturday, which ended a five-game winning streak. "Especially in a game like this, we shouldn't have faltered. We had enough chances to win, we really wanted to continue the momentum, but we lacked quality this time, and it cost us dearly," a team source stated. Adding to the team's concerns is the injury sustained by winger Oشر Davidah, who left the field limping and holding his hamstring. Davidah, who had a strong start to the season, is feared to have a hamstring tear and will undergo tests, making him doubtful for the upcoming match against Beitar Jerusalem.
On a more positive note, Helio Varela, who has been gradually returning to play after an injury, is expected to start the next game. Shagiv Ezekiel missed a clear goal-scoring opportunity but is primarily noted for seemingly leaving his injury concerns behind him. This draw marks Maccabi Tel Aviv's first dropped points in the league this season, after an initial five consecutive wins. The result leaves them three points ahead of second-place Hapoel Tel Aviv, with Maccabi Haifa having an opportunity to close the gap to one point if they win on Monday.
