Hapoel Ramat Gan Prepares for First Home Game With New Winger Matan Hozaz
Hapoel Ramat Gan is set to host Hapoel Be'er Sheva in their first home match of the 2026/27 Israeli Premier League season on Saturday in Rehovot. Coach Massai Dago will include newly signed 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 suspension, 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 Dago is also deciding between Marius Novaisi and Idan Barnes for a forward position.
The projected starting lineup includes Amit Reif in goal; Getatchew Yablo or Noam Schwartz, Marcio Silva or Dudi Toito, Jota, and Fard Ibrahim in defense; Sergei Mikhailovich, Christopher Boniface, and Maksim Plakushenko in midfield; and Luan Campos, David Asenka, and either Marius Novaisi or Idan Barnes in attack.
