Following a disappointing 2-1 loss to Maccabi Petah Tikva in the season opener, Hapoel Kiryat Shmona will host Ironi Tiberias tomorrow at the Miriam Stadium aiming for their first league victory. After being suspended in the Toto Cup semi-final and missing the last match, coach Shay Barda will return to the sidelines, along with Ofir Benbenishti, who is also back from suspension.
A notable forced change in the northern club's lineup will be at right back, where injured Ovadia Darwish will be replaced by Ido Weir. On the opposite flank, Shay Sabach is returning from injury and is expected to start. Coach Barda acknowledged the team’s poor attitude in the previous game, which was uncharacteristic compared to their Toto Cup performance, emphasizing the need to improve their approach and focus on small details to secure points.
Barda described Tiberias as a good team in need of points and expects a tough, specific match. The probable starting lineup includes Daniel Tenenbaum; Ido Weir, Shay Ben David, Nemanja Ljubisavljevic, Shay Sabach (Itzik Shulmeister); Alex Sola, Ofir Benbenishti (Thales Costa), Ariel Shartzki; Amadou Saniye, Adrian Ugurisa, and Rufat Abdulzada. The team is determined to bounce back and begin accumulating points in the league.
