Beitar Jerusalem to Start Tomer Yosefi in Midfield Against Maccabi Netanya
Beitar Jerusalem will host Maccabi Netanya at Bloomfield Stadium on Saturday in their opening match of the Israeli Premier League season. Jordan Shua remains not fully fit but will be included in the squad and may play if necessary, with the team aiming to have him ready for the upcoming game against Hapoel Tel Aviv on Thursday. Shon Weissman is set to start as striker, marking his first league start in Israel in seven years after playing for five clubs across four leagues abroad.
The attacking lineup will be completed by Omer Atzili and Juninho Calu, while Tomer Yosefi is preferred in midfield over Noam Motta alongside Daniel Vorko and Boris Ino. Yosefi has mostly come off the bench this season except for one Toto Cup match and will need to justify the trust placed in him by coach Almog Cohen, who will be managing his first league game. Nevo Shado will continue in the starting eleven, replacing the injured Yarden Cohen.
The expected starting lineup includes Miguel Silva in goal; Nana Antwi, Brian Carvalho, Luka Gadrani, and Nevo Shado in defense; Boris Ino, Daniel Vorko, and Tomer Yosefi in midfield; and Omer Atzili, Juninho Calu, and Shon Weissman leading the attack.
