After securing a crucial opening win against Hapoel Petah Tikva, Ironi Tiberias prepares to visit Hapoel Kiryat Shmona on Saturday aiming to maintain their positive momentum with a second consecutive victory. However, coaches Alon Ziv and Moti Krispil face offensive difficulties as three key attacking players will be absent. Wing player Mansour Badji suffered an injury in the last match and will miss the game, with Nana Gambel expected to replace him. Additionally, Kayes Ganem remains sidelined. Itamar Shabiro, who started the previous game, continues to experience knee pain and will not risk playing; instead, loaned player Samir Farhoud from Hapoel Be'er Sheva is likely to make his first start.
Defensively, Ziv Morgan is included in the starting eleven for the first time, partnering Ron Ungar and Ondzej Bachu in central defense. Midfielders Daniel Golani, Ari Cohen, and Chris Koaku will continue their roles from the previous round. The probable lineup includes Ido Sharon as goalkeeper; defenders Guy Senker, Ron Ungar, Ondzej Bachu, and Ziv Morgan; midfielders Chris Koaku, Ari Cohen, Daniel Golani, and Nana Gambel; and forward Samir Farhoud leading the attack.
The team aims to build on their initial success despite the offensive setbacks, with the coaching staff adjusting the lineup to compensate for the missing players ahead of the important league match.
