Hapoel Ramat Gan is preparing for a crucial match against Hapoel Petah Tikva on Saturday at the Moshava Stadium, a game described by the club as a "season game" before the international break. The team, nicknamed the "Ordonim," has secured only two wins in the first nine league rounds and is looking to turn its fortunes around against a direct rival in the relegation battle. This comes after a disappointing 5-0 defeat to Maccabi Tel Aviv in their last outing. Hapoel Petah Tikva currently sits three points ahead of Ramat Gan, making a victory essential for the latter to close the gap and gain breathing room.
"We made big mistakes against Maccabi Tel Aviv and paid for them, now it's time to fix it and win," a club source stated. Coach Mesay Dego will be without player David Asenka, who is suffering from a hamstring tear and is expected back after the break. Efforts are underway to prepare Matan Hozez for the game, but he has not yet returned to full training, and his inclusion in the squad is uncertain.
