Maccabi Tel Aviv host Maccabi Petah Tikva at the Bloomfield Stadium in Tel Aviv, Israel on Monday for the 2024 Israel Super Cup.
After four years, Tel Aviv won the top-flight title again last year, their record-extending 25th in the competition.
With 62 points from 26 games, the Yellows comfortably won the Israeli Premier League ahead of their arch-rivals Maccabi Haifa, who finished seven points behind them in second.
It paved their way here, as Tel Aviv will play in the Super Cup for the first time in three years, hoping to lift their eighth trophy in this one-off game.
On the other hand, Maccabi Petah Tikva are in the cup following their State Cup victory last season. Mohammed Hindy struck a penalty for them in the 86th minute of the final to earn them a 1-0 win.
It was their second trophy in the competition since Israel's independence, ending a 72-year drought since their previous State Cup victory in 1952.
Now, Dan Roman's side have a chance to win another cup they haven't won in a long time: Petah Kitva's last Israel Super Cup win came way back in 1962.
