Hapoel Ramat Gan is preparing for a critical league match against Hapoel Petah Tikva on Saturday at the Moshava Stadium, a game described by the club as a "season-defining moment" 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 encounter follows a disappointing 5-0 defeat to Maccabi Tel Aviv in their last outing, a performance the club aims to put behind them.
Hapoel Petah Tikva currently holds a three-point advantage over Ramat Gan, making a victory crucial for closing the gap and gaining much-needed breathing room at the bottom of the table. "We made big mistakes against Maccabi Tel Aviv and paid for them, now it's time to fix it and win," stated club officials.
From a professional standpoint, coach Massai Dego will be without David Asenka, who is recovering from a hamstring tear and is expected to return after the international break. Efforts are also underway to get Matan Hozez ready for the game, but he has not yet returned to full training, making his inclusion in the squad uncertain.
