Hapoel Tel Aviv has the opportunity to climb to first place in the Israeli Premier League if they defeat Hapoel Be'er Sheva on Saturday night. The match, scheduled for 8:30 PM at Turner Stadium and broadcast on Sport5, is a crucial encounter that could see the winner seize the top spot just before the league pauses for an international break. A draw would keep Maccabi Tel Aviv in first place. Hapoel Be'er Sheva, the reigning champions, have frequently contended for the league lead in recent years. In contrast, Hapoel Tel Aviv has not finished a league matchday in first place since the second matchday of the 2021/22 season. During that season, Hapoel Tel Aviv secured victories against MS Ashdod (2-1) and Kiryat Shmona (2-0) in the opening two rounds, with Yoav Tomer scoring twice in the latter. At that time, Salim Tuama was the coach, and he remains with the club, though Doron Leidner is the only player from that squad still with the team. Hapoel Tel Aviv relinquished their top position in the following round after a 1-1 draw with Maccabi Petah Tikva, with Hapoel Nof HaGalil taking the lead on goal difference.
