Hapoel Ramat Gan Prepares for First Home Match with New Winger Matan Hozaz
Hapoel Ramat Gan is set to host Hapoel Be'er Sheva in their first home game of the 2026/27 Israeli Premier League season on Saturday in Rehovot. Coach Masai Dego will include new winger Matan Hozaz in the squad for the first time, with Hozaz expected to make his debut in the second half as he gradually integrates into the team.
Portuguese defender Jota, returning from a suspension served against Maccabi Haifa, is likely to start in central defense, replacing Omer Itzhak. Additionally, Marcio Silva and Noam Schwartz may start instead of Dudi Toito and Getatchew Yablo. Coach Dego faces a tactical decision in the attacking line, choosing between Marius Novaisi and Idan Barnes.
The probable starting lineup includes Amit Reif in goal; defenders Getatchew Yablo (or Noam Schwartz), Marcio Silva (or Dudi Toito), Jota, and Fard Ibrahim; midfielders Sergen Mikhailovic, Christopher Boniface, and Maksim Plakushenko; and forwards Luan Campos, David Asanka, and either Marius Novaisi or Idan Barnes.
